This is incomplete and might be dangerous. I agree its implementation is incomplete. But I wonder if it's really dangerous in the sense that generic distribution kernels shouldn't enable it, because it can break unrelated (eg. IPv4 IPVS) functionality. What does that warning mean today? Isn't it out of date? -- Thanks, Feri.
