There is no calls to hwloc within in thescript. Hence not clear what does ` NAK, no scripting hwloc it is ugly and creates a dependency that is not listed in DPDK packaging.`. Requesting to cross check why NAK is shared for `print` as suggestion. Hence, I have disagree to this. > > It would be better to just add a footnote now something like cpu_layout script > is deprecated use hwloc instead.

With respect to depreciation please check the patchwork for `usertools: enahcne logic to display NUMA` all these are already discussed. We even requested to remove the script if it is not be used.
