Which "default behaviour"? ip addr flush or ip neigh flush behaviour?
Both of those should behave the same IMHO.
In both cases your changed behaviour should be optional and it should
default to the old behaviour. Not actually flushing completely when the
user specified "flush" is counter-intuitive.
Defaulting to never bail out is causing problems in a bunch of firewalling
frontends which has been reported multiple times to both debian and ubuntu
(and possibly others I don't know about), and looping forever causes the
bootup to never finish.
Thats my reason for advocating not selecting the "loop forever" as the
default choice.
Then those frontends should add "maxrounds N" if they want to abort
before the flush is complete.
