If you think it is useful, please commit it in the git.
It is.
Unfortunately, it's changing libosmocore, so that makes it a whole lot more complex because you can't change the "shared" directory directly, we need to make the change to libosmocore then import the new libosmocore into the osmocom-bb git.
And we have to maintain compatibility in libosmocore as much as possible if we don't want to break everything that calls telnet_init, so I would recommend introducing a new telnet_init_ex ? that takes the added parameter and keep telnet_init as compatibility.
Harald / Holger ? Do you see better ways to handle this sort of case ?
Cheers,
Sylvain
