   Of course, this will result in vastly decreased functionality (no
   arbitary netmasks, no policy-based routing, code will be fine-tuned
   for typical Internet routing tables), so this proposal definitely
   comes at a price.

As a general purpose operating system, where people DO in fact use
these features quite regularly, we cannot make these kinds of choices
without making it optional and definiteily non-default behavior.
