I would gladly clarify the commit message, and I am sorry for making it terse in the beginning. Can you please clarify, what capabilities are you concerned about? The change shouldn't change any existing semantics if the mechanism is never used on a specific system, and only alters "open" behaviour in the cases where the specific message was issued, but I am happy to cover any additional aspects you are concerned about Thanks, Daniil -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
