265What: Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
266When: in 2.6.23
267Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
268 us with no maintainer and lots of bugs. The code should not have
269 been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
270 implementation are blocking more critical core networking
271 development. It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
272 enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
273 (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
274 handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
275 errors impossible too because they get called after we've
276 totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
277 This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
278 has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
279 this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.
