[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 1/7] net/ark: stub PMD for Atomic Rules Arkville

[Shepard Siegel]

Hi Ferruh,

Thank you for the terrific news.

Ed is traveling today; we agree with you that pushing to RC2 will allow
more chance for reviews with little or no other impact. We will update the
release notes [1] to announce ARK PMD on Tuesday by 5PM EDT.

As an aside, I want to mention that Atomic Rules has joined LF/DPDK as a
Silver Member. I've been in contact with Tim and Thomas on this. Atomic
Rules will included in some of the press around next week's ONS event. We
are honored to be part of this group!

-Shep for the Atomic Rules team
