That email didn't make it to the list, perhaps due to the attachment.

That said, I don't really think this makes sense.

The generation field is really only useful for applications that go re
-dump if they detect a change in generation between messages, but
clearly that's not the case in iw and I don't want to encourage anyone
to script iw to the point of doing this.
