It would have been nice to have a bit longer due notice. I had this performance related patch which had stalled due to some VLAN related issues: https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04346.html Seeing how long it takes between linuxptp releases, I guess it would make some sense for me to try to make an effort to come back to that and fix it before this release is made. I remember testing with some VLANs inserted into packets via tc-vlan actions, and the first (and problematic) patch, "Revert "raw: accept VLAN tagged packets."", turned out to be quite unnecessary. It appeared to me that ETH_P_1588 packets got delivered to the ETH_P_1588 socket regardless of whether they were VLAN-tagged or not, which was just what was needed. Maybe it's best to not stall this release, but would it make sense to be more upfront even about future release dates, and/or to plan more of these more frequently? Work expands to fill free time, so it's quite easy to get caught up in other stuff.
