|
|
|
+When: in 2.6.23
|
|
|
+Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
|
|
|
+ us with no maintainer and lots of bugs. The code should not have
|
|
|
+ been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
|
|
|
+ implementation are blocking more critical core networking
|
|
|
+ development. It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
|
|
|
+ enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
|
|
|
+ (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
|
|
|
+ handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
|
|
|
+ errors impossible too because they get called after we've
|
|
|
+ totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
|
|
|
+ This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
|
|
|
+ has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
|
|
|
+ this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.
