No need to use irony.

OK, so at this point it's basically a bunch of BPF core developers
that is pushing back on these egress support series.

The BPF project is moving on and making progress. Why don't you just
keep convincing more users to adopt your solution? You can just
provide incentives for them to adopt your software, make more
benchmarks, more documentation and so on. That's all perfectly fine
and you are making a great job on that field.

But why you do not just let us move ahead?

If you, the BPF team and your users, do not want to use Netfilter,
that's perfectly fine. Why don't you let users choose what subsystem
of choice that they like for packet filtering?

I already made my own mistakes in the past when I pushed back for BPF
work, that was wrong. It's time to make peace and take this to an end.

Thank you.
