Hypothetical networking features that may be added to Linux in the future. As I've said, I do not believe any existing features will need to be removed in order to remove the linux specific bits of this package. The problem with making this change is really that it'll be so disruptive as to make it hard to consider the code as anything other than a fork. I'll revisit this claim, though. Maybe I can keep things from being quite so drastic. We'll see. I'm going to make an upload of iputils soon to fix a bunch of bugs, but after that, I'll see what I can do to please everybody and get the best of both worlds... noah
