Joseph, ah! Thanks for the bug link. That provides some of the missing
rationale and history behind this MIR.
I understand your frustration, but part of the reason for this
particular delay is that the people reviewing MIRs are busy and not
domain experts in everything. Because the original description didn't
reference bug 253230, from our perspective, this request didn't seem to
flow naturally from a desire of the kvm packagers to use vde2. Now that
I see that a developer with domain knowledge (Dustin Kirkland) would
enable vde2 support if it were in main and requested that you file this
MIR, it makes sense to proceed.
Obviously, this won't get into Ubuntu 11.10. But it's reasonable that
it could for 12.04. Thanks Joseph for sticking with it so far.
Kees's point about the daemon was likely less about its resource
requirements than possible security issues. This should be reviewed by
Ubuntu's security team, so I'm assigning to them.
