According to the comments for rev. 1.10 of netinet/ip_id.c, from

this is to be MFCed after 2 weeks (i.e. 2 weeks after 6. February 2008).

And yet here we are in July 2009, and 7-STABLE shows no sign of this
version of the IP id generation code but instead has the version that
Amit Klein showed had problems,

This is a case of me losing track of time and not getting around to the merge. As far as I know the code in question works properly. I will try to merge it soon. If another committer would like to handle the merge for me to get it done sooner, please speak up. :)

Sorry for the delay,

Mike "Silby" Silbersack
