The discussion about the ‘Area’ prefix has come up again, even after Ben had commented about it and after I had pointed folks to the submitting-patches.rst, which allows flexibility in choosing an ‘Area’ prefix by the patch submitter.
In this thread, it was again suggested that the use of ‘Area’ prefix ‘System Tests’ needs to change to ‘System-traffic’ Below, I list some the history regarding previous commits of system-traffic.at as a single patch. Different people have had different preferences and those seem to have been tolerated in the past. Hence, I would like know what has changed recently such that the documented (submitting-patches.rst) and historical flexibility (see previous patches) regarding the ‘Area’ prefix is no longer tolerated ? My suggestion is that we don’t continue along these new lines and rather stay flexible, as the work will be more productive in such an environment.

Per Ilya's request, I updated the prefix. Will apply to master shortly. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mail.openvswitch.org_mailman_listinfo_ovs-2Ddev&d=DwICAg&c=uilaK90D4TOVoH58JNXRgQ&r=BVhFA09CGX7JQ5Ih-uZnsw&m=bMwLwPwNQR3XbY6KCxI54HZPRTBWPcrSF4_ikMQj44Q&s=9m-0DFAgXSLjCzA6DDzcTgCX-Evii2MGmQsDncTuikM&e= _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
