Yes, iproute2 rocks! I recently discovered that it can do "xfrm" stuff and was amazed to see that the developer(s) had a big clue about what we like to see (and what is human readable), if we type "ip xfrm state" and "ip xfrm policy" as opposed to "setkey -D" and "setkey -PD". So I can only hope that netlink and iproute will be chosen as a way to represent it to the user, just because of the clueful developers of iproute2.
