With this patch we only retain user configured addresses which is the
goal of the v1 patch posted back in January 2015. This is active in our
code base so getting a lot of testing and exposure to other users. It is
active on my server and VMs as well. With all of the VRF testing it is
getting a workout. i.e, not much more I can do to ensure this is solid
before 4.6 is final. I know this patch has been been ported and is in
use by others; I would encourage them to share if they see problems or
want adjustments as well.
