As Tom indicated we expect a significant code shrink for kDAPL, it will
be much more Linux friendly when we are done with it, some parts will be
re-written.
Also the iSER code is not optimal in terms of LOC, and we can clean up
some redundant code if we are in an LOC contest, I believe after we glue
all the layers we will focus on reducing LOCs and test code.

You know there is also the challenge of making it work, perform,
interoperate, and support some features, not all is about LOC :)
Anyway thanks for offering us support we may take you up on the some day
