I agree, thanks. I tried it (https://marc.info/?t=164607426900002&r=1&w=2) and got this response from Steffen Klassert now: > In general I agree that the userspace ABI has to be stable, but > this never worked.

(https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=164615098503579&w=2) Given it's unlikely to have this reverted in general I personally think that reverting for the LTS kernels makes sense at least...
