Hmm, you seems still misunderstanding some of our points. :-p
Alexey says we may want to use ifi_family for per-interface L3 information
including M/O bits.
It is not a misunderstanding, I had replied to that mail saying that I don't
have any knowledge of using this new interface. If you prefer, I can split the
patch for prefix list vs O/M bits so that the former is accepted without any
issues. Someone else can modify the O/M to suit new needs. Does that sound OK
with you ?

That's why I had suggested that we can use RTM_GETLNKINFO with more information,
like RTA_IFFLAGS, and other things like stats or whatever. That can be done
easily enough and still be functionally complete. I just don't have any idea
about this new interface.
Is this still a problem ?
thanks,
