I understand that. I just take issue with the fact that we have to

So, I never could think up a way to make this more acceptable and meet
my own goals.
Any chance I could get just the netlink enum in place, even if it is
called something like 'api_placeholder_x'?
Otherwise, it is about impossible for me to keep any sane forward/back

Or, is there some other way to handle out-of-tree netlink stuff better?
