I think this is the best course of action for now, and it was the first thought that came to my mind - if we don't absolutely need iproute2 in the base install / bootstrapping system, it shouldn't be in @system anyway. > 2) Port iproute2 to real Yacc. > > I am concerned that the upstream of iproute2 may not want this, though > there has never been any public discussion that I've found on this > topic.

This option could be pursued at a later date if it is deemed necessary to keep iproute2 in @system.
