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,
