Hal, Marcel, I tend to agree with the direction Sean is suggesting, sure, we need to see that existing utilities aren't broken with the new values we would be adding to new fields, but that should be doable, the fact that the wire structure didn't had room to extend (...) on this or that field doesn'r mandate the same limitations for IB stack non-wire structures. BTW the complexity typically introduced by changing structures that cross user/kernel boundaries is typically higher, so it would be preferring to avoid that, and following the Sean's direction we can avoid that.
