This was when I came back from being five weeks out, left with > 10k unread mails. This was known and I even offered a separate communication channel to reach out should something come up that requires my attention. However, only two days later I did catch your subsequent series, replied [1] and mentioned everything I mentioned in this thread as well. > I spent a lot of time over the past few weeks implementing lookup support, > and now you're saying it > was for nothing. I understand that this is frustrating, but I wouldn't say it was for nothing. You previously mentioned that you are relatively new to Rust; glancing at the code I can imaginge that you learned a lot from working on this, which I think is pretty valuable as well. Also, we can pick up this code at any time should someone find a valid use-case for this feature. - Danilo [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
