Thanks for reviving tap eBPF support, I am for merging this set (as early as possible). But I have two concerns, 1. Build environment header file dependencies and external library dependency version changed. Not sure if this will impact users. What do you think at least to update release notes to notify users? 2. We need this to be tested, either by users or test teams. I will bring the issue in next release status meeting to see if we have anyone testing tap eBPF support. Thanks, ferruh
