But also, what’s the technical justification for this change? There should not be gratuitous differences between architectures like this, only when there is a reason something shouldn’t be enabled. Why should x86 (and possibly arm64) get netlink, but not arm/powerpc/riscv? We have very few machine-dependent defaults in src.opts.mk. If there is no such justification then please revert this in its entirety, and if there is such a justification it belongs in a comment above the if. Jess
