enums and typedefs are a (weak) form of documentation. If people don't know the feature exists they won't know to look for it in better forms of documentation that are privately available. I'm generalizing since I have NFC what this attribute does specifically. If someone publicly can say "Don't use this because..." then that would be a good reason to remove the declaration too. grant _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
