I think we have to fix it soon, some way or another.. I would preffer to keep the actual behaviour so no scripts are harmed. But it's real that we don't want to have to add a new command line flag always from now!
Now, another fact is that netstat was always tabular, and I think we are used to see it this way.. Maybe (only maybe!) we can make a NEW version of netstat, and show a warning when chopping is happening, so we don't break actual scripts, and in the new version we can do what we want without being afraid, what do you think? In the future we can rename the old netstat, and use the new as the original.. netstat-ng?
