I did not intend to offend.  Perhaps you didn't mean to imply it, but 
that's what I inferred and probably what other people inferred.

It sounds like you are basically saying "keep DF stuff out of ports". If 
you are aware of a great benefit DF is bringing, then that translates to 
a 1-way relationship (e.g. give us all you want, but we aren't giving 
anything back).  The other possibility is that you aren't aware of the 
level of benefit, so DF seems like a parasite.

Is there another permutation?  To be unaware of the benefits is the 
better image than the other!

Anyway, sorry to aggravate you.  We are trying to keep DF support 
non-invasive and unoffensive.  If you have ideas that enhance 
collaboration rather than encourage separate efforts, let me know.

John
