Congratulations for the patient and calm way of replying and hanging in in the face of very awkward arguments brought up against DRBD inclusion. I got the impression that the majority of kernel maintainers realize the "pressure" of an established solution that is used in production all over the world and the huge leverage of distribution builders who require DRBD to fill a gap. At the end of the day deployment base and user acceptance for an elegant and reliable solution will surely make the difference. Gernot
