As Arthur pointed out, we would hope to integrate this as a binary as a temporary solution, until Intel clears out the NDA issues.
I really don't like this idea. As it's a special case for the time being, this can live in some extra branch, possibly extra repo, just for those few folks who really need it right now. Adding binary cruft to the mainline removed the pressure for folks like Intel (which is an exceptionally ugly player in this regard) to clear up everyhing. They should feel the presure of being ignored (at best), until they provide a really clean solution. They should learn once for all that those things never should have been under NDA in the first place. Note: this has nothing to do with (dis)repsect regarding your work.
And also in the sense of moving forward, I would like to choose Golang over C in this case.
hmm, golang in general is a bit problematic in distro context. (anyone, who tried clean packaging and build process of golang and go applications for distros like Debian, knows what I'm talking about :p) ... it's a nice language, but getting their own ecosystem isle (damn, they even built their own wannabe package manager) play along nicely with distros is a pretty huge and non-trival job. Personally, for that kind of job, I'd prefer something like Python :p --mtx -- --- Hinweis: unverschlüsselte E-Mails können leicht abgehört und manipuliert werden !
