Well, if I'm not mis-remembering it was on purpose to make it more
difficult for people to declare themselves "experts". FAOD I'm not
meaning to imply I don't see and accept the frustration aspect you
mention further up. The two need to be carefully weighed against
one another.
I don’t think we need to make it difficult for people to declare themselves
experts, particularly as “all” it means at the moment is, “Can build something
which is not security supported”. People who are building their own
hypervisors are already pretty well advanced; I think we can let them shoot
themselves in the foot if they want to.
Assuming I reword the commit message regarding "make clean", could I
consider this as an acked-by?
