We can cry foul about a broken application if an application following the API correctly would interpret the new messages correctly. I think it doesn't make sense to do a delete then a newroute for the atomicity issues, and therefore the replace makes the most sense as long as existing correct uses of the API would not explode on this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
