The users I know anything about, would be both happy and proud to contribute code to the main tree. One I know about,who has developed a very interesting "reliable bond interface" based on this API, doesn't regard his code to be up to the kernel coding standards yet, although I am trying to encourage him. Another one thinks his function is just too specialized to be of any common interest. In the future, I would be also be very interested in seeing a cross-node netlink implementation, carried over TIPC, using this API. (Unfortunately, I don't dare to commit to this myself right now, there is too much left to be done in TIPC.) So, as you see, keeping the exported symbols would be a definite advantage, as current and future developers would not have to patch the kernel to do their work.
