Honestly, I don't see any issue in the current DPDK project execution.
The concern was more towards the fact that multi-vendor infrastructure project
like DPDK owned and controlled by the single company.

We believe, Moving to LF will fix that issue/perception and it will
enable more users to use/consume/invest DPDK in their products.
Having said that, Does anyone see any issue in moving to LF?
If yes, Then we should enumerate the issues and discuss further.
