+What:   Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
+When:   in 2.6.23
+Why:    Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
+        us with no maintainer and lots of bugs.  The code should not have
+        been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
+        implementation are blocking more critical core networking
+        development.  It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
+        enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
+        (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
+        handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
+        errors impossible too because they get called after we've
+        totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
+        This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
+        has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
+        this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.
