It doesn't really matter who uses it, it's there forever and we therefore can't remove it. But what we could do is add a flag in the netlink request which elides the stats. GLIBC et al. could then start setting the flag. -- 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
