For the record, I don't think anything there has actually been implemented ... I've been meaning to, but not gotten to it, the only thing I had done was a "dummy" policy dump helper in iproute2/genl. Which I guess will no longer work with this, and thus I should in fact implement the scheme I outlined for dumping all commands at once, so the "manual" introspection there can work again. Still, it's all very new and not really in use yet, so I see no issues with it all. Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg <johan...@sipsolutions.net> johannes
