why not use libmnl instead ?

That would not work for the LinuxFromScratch project.  At the time
util-linux is built, libmnl is not available.

then update the LFS insns to include libmnl, or build util-linux with the
reload option disabled.  i don't see how LFS's decisions are relevant here.

Yes, we can do either, but it seems like a lot of overhead to add a new package for 95 lines of code that are already written.

We already manage about 1000 packages and are volunteers. Many of my users would call adding a new library for one minor function bloat. None of the packages we support now use that library although that could change in the future if others start to use it.

Yes, our decisions are only a minor input to upstream packages, but there may be others that have similar concerns that don't monitor this list.
