> 
> On the flow validation some items may check the preceding protocols.
> In case of flex item the next protocol is opaque (or can be multiple
> ones) we should set neutral value and allow successful validation, for example,
> for the combination of flex and following ESP items.

Resending the Ack for each patch separately, because patchwork assigned my Ack for the series to v1, not v2.
