With "not to support anycast" you probably meant "not to support
subnet-router anycast address [automatically, in the kernel, as now]" ?
These are entirely different things.

(Note that if there's a user-level API for setting anycast addresses, one
could kick the subnet-router anycast address out of the kernel too.
Whether that's desirable is another thing.)
