The hidden patch does a hundred different things, that's what makes
it so undigestable. :)

Let us assume your arp_announce patch is applied.  Given that, plus the
things you've mentioned, only a tiny piece of functionality is
really needed from that hidden patch.

Why don't you extract out just the needed part, and toss together
an email with that patch explaining that specific behavior change?

Thanks.
