Exactly for this reason (As we discussed on IRC) I think this mechanism should be
reasoned a bit more. As I told you, it would be nice to have a self-activating
mechanism which is able to switch it on or off when really needed.
The common network administrator will probably not have enough knowledge to
understand when this is useful or when this is breaking things.
Moreover, with this patch you are adding a userspace API that we won't be able
to remove anymore (!) and since the feature needs some more time before being
mature I'd rather to suggest to avoid this.
Cheers,
