The events do not include the ID, this is how it goes as for now.
Actually I'm not a big fun of the ID.
@Patrick: I don't remember exactly the reason why we decided to keep the
ID there, and if we have decided to do so, it seems inconsistent to me
not to include it in the events.
I agree. I guess the reason why its not sent on events is that it
was originally only introduced (IIRC, I might be confusing it with
the ordered list on second thought) for dumps.
The reason why we kept it at all is that people are already using
it as unique identifier, we only changed the uniqueness to mean
"unique at any given point in time", but not over time. I guess
the logical thing to do would be to also include it in events.
I know some people are using patches to do this already.
Well, I'm not big fun of reducing the limited bandwidth of netlink but
let's inserted it. I have a couple of patches here for ctnetlink. I can
include one for this.
Thanks Pablo.
