I'd like to hear the opinion of Jens and Christoph about this topic. My
concern is that if the code for sharing a tag set across hwqs stays in
the ibnbd driver and if another block driver is submitted in the future
that needs the same logic that in order to end up with a single
implementation of the tag set sharing code that the authors of the new
driver would have to be asked to modify the ibnbd driver. I think it
would be inappropriate to ask the authors of such a new driver to modify
the ibnbd driver.
Bart.
