I disagree a bit. I think we want the actual hierarchy to be a well-defined thing, because I have plans to make the hierarchy actually do something. That means that we'll need to have a more exact way to dump the hierarchy than "these two filters are identical" or "these two filters are not identical". --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
