Comment(by andrea):
I know this is a bit of an abstract concern, since we're unlikely to be
worried about any protocols other than IPv4 and IPv6 at any point in
the near future, but it bothers me a bit that we now have two protocols
and in some places we're dealing with them by ad-hoc code that effectively
embeds knowledge of what protocols we support in a hardwired way. Things
like the expansion of AF_UNSPEC into AF_INET and AF_INET6 wildcards in
policy_expand_unspec() of commit 8e33d77ee1cc73fc5638caff886d16a1a7779646
feel like they should be more table-driven or something, I guess.
Similar comments for exit_policy_remove_redundancies() in that commit.
