Agreed, that's a fair point. I'm guessing it was inspired by the ethtool stats? (Which in hindsight were a mistake on my part.) For the longest time there was no docs or best practices for netlink. We have the documentation and more infrastructure in place now. I hope if you wrote the code today the distinction would have been clearer. If we start adding APIs for various one-(two?)-offs from the past we'll never dig ourselves out of the "no idea what's the normal use of these APIs" hole..
