After re-reading Jiri's points I can't really understand why we should
now switch to netlink. I think all our sysfs knobs are used to inject
settings *to* userspace, therefore his point 1) does not really apply to
us. Point 2) is a bit generic and does not really explain why we should
*switch*.
Wouldn't it have been better when Jiri would also see your reply? Now he isn't
even aware of your criticism.
Nope, I'd rather step in myself, should David or anybody else complain
about the patch once sent to netdev. But I totally understand your point.
Personally I did not see Jiri's statements as representative of netdev
as a whole, but it looked like his personal opinion to me (I might be
wrong).
I will reply to [1] directly so we can take the discussion from there then.

Please discuss this with Jiri [1].
This said, I'd rather keep this patch as it
is and possibly discuss the
matter when sending this code to netdev for merging.
I've discussed this with Marek too and he is fine with this approach.
Interesting, I don't see it this way. This patch [0] is for netdev and we have
the statement that "usage of sysfs in netdev subsystem is frowned upon". Now
you want that we ignore that and than maybe Simon have to deal with the
fallout when he forwards it to David?
Kind regards,
Sven
