I don't think I have said anything here that betrays any NDA. It is publicly known that Dell has authored both TP-8009/8010 and 
nvme-stas... and that Dell is asking the upstream linux community and the linux distribution companies to accept and support 
nvme-stas.

Which is exactly why I want to have a public conversation where people can be held accountable for what they say and/or 
remember.  I am not looking for a debate, I am looking for clarity about who said what.

> What I can say publicly is this... We asked you to start a thread with Hannes and Keith because, despite being "tired of the hear-say game that happens with private conversations.", you were attributing all kinds of statements to them that did not align with what we had heard.

So you thought that meant I was going to start another three way private conversation between Keith, Hannes, Dell and Red Hat?

I am speaking for myself here... and I am doing so publicly so Hannes, Keith or anybody else can correct me if I have 
misrepresented them or attributed anything to them or anybody else wrongly.
