Start ethdev after the Rx/Tx adapter setup is complete as in some
architectures it might lead to undefined behaviour or events being
dropped.

Hi,
Thanks for starting the discussion.
My 2c is that, unless someone steps up not only for the maintainer role
but also for the validation effort, we should cancel the short term
releases.

Yes it looks reasonnable.
So we must question the community at each major release
to know if it will maintained, how long, or not.
If there are volunteers, we must clearly state in the stable release notes
which areas are validated.
