How strict are we with regard to compatibility here? New IPv6 rules with no pref specified currently get appended at the end of the list whereas this would start inserting at the head. I'm absolutely in favour of the new behaviour but this could break scripts which do not have proper prefs specified. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
