I now that we usually have some feedback from non-net maintainers that
they actually prefer seeing the full picture (and I also tend to
prefer that as well) and having all the patches relevant to enable a
particular feature, even if it means getting multiple maintainers
involved.

Just to make sure we understood you fully, do you want Chen-Yu to
resend his serie following your comments, or was that just a general
remark for next time?

Thanks!
Maxime
