To be fair to Evgeniy I am not against the Konnector idea. I think that it is a useful feature to have an easy to use messaging between kernel-kernel and kernel-userspace. The fact that he leveraged netlink instead of inventing things is a bonus. Having said that i have not seriously scrutinized the code - and i think the idea of this new thing hes tossing around called CBUS maybe pushing it.
