Yep.
And rereading what I wrote... I didn't intend to imply that you personally aren't
operating in "good faith" or whatever is the right terminology. What I was trying
to explain is why I sometimes speak in absolutes. When there is a bug/regression
and KVM is clearly violating spec, it's not a matter of opinion; KVM is broken and
needs to be fixed.
Of course, one could argue that that's an opinion in and of itself...
