But, Huacai, please do not misunderstand me. I am perfectly fine with
your lemote.com address, and do not have even the slightest technical

So, I was not requesting v7 - I just wanted to help eliminate that ridiculous
technical detail stopping this patch series, I am absolutely fine and even
strongly support v6 in its entire intact form.
