+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.
