So I don't get this argument. If everything is so targeted, then why are the BPF instructions an ABI.

You cannot argue both ways. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
