Well.Here is a reply from Julian himself.

Maintainers don't like the idea to use output device index as routing
key. There was discussion on masquerading issues:

Here is a link for start of such discussion:

	Still, in response to these problems CONNMARK was pushed to 2.6:

	Also, the patches are not suitable for kernel because they
require scripts/daemons to ping gateways in multipath routes.
