Hi Dave,
That seems wise. Thanks for the advice. A more sophisticated way of
approaching this would be for the kernel to also send a bitmap of
which attributes are "critical" and only warn (or even error) of
_those_ are not understood. But that seems needlessly complex, and so
I think I'll go

Hi guys,
One handy aspect of Netlink is that it's backwards compatible. This
means that you can run old userspace utilities on new kernels, even if
the new kernel supports new features and netlink attributes. The wire
format is stable enough that the data marshaled can be extended
without
