Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] LLRP dissector support

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

I've been looking at this submission from the start, and frankly I don't like 
it. It is like Ronnie says in 
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1957#c4, this code is very 
hard to read, let alone maintain.
I don't want to sign off on that and burden myself and other with the 
maintenance chores. So I left it alone for another core developer to 
eventually pick it up. It seems none is confident enough to commit it.

Thanx,
Jaap
