Well, this inconsistancy is perhaps my fault. He saw me cleaning them in very early OpenBSD the one way (the tree in those years will bear this out), and back in those days he was trying to do the right thing. You are right; the past, with INET4, cannot be fixed. That ship sailed. More than 6 users.
