I'd call it a > "feature". Stephen called it a feature too. It's not that important for me but for the sake of the argument. Why is it a feature?

Calling it a feature because it is in the code is not really convincing me. -- Frank - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
