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.
