Aren't there simpler ways to influence the 1588 working groups, like
sending them a direct email? I don't think a significant number of them
are subscribed to linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
Which begs the question, if you already had your mind set on a
particular list of euphemisms, and you weren't actually looking for a
second opinion from this group, why send this RFC patch at all? You can
commit changes to linuxptp without peer review at any time.

Also (and this might be not for me to understand), if you are:

then why pressure them in the first place to make this change?

Thanks,
