I have no commit privs, and I already have a large backlog of patches that are waiting for review/integration when you all have time. My merges are hard enough without trying to completely re-architect a subsystem that I don't really know much about to begin with. Also, my changes are backwards compatible, so there is small risk in adding them as they are.
So, for now, I'm going to stick with the minimal changes needed to get it working. I have yet to work on dynamic changes for multicast (adding/deleting vifs, etc), so I may yet end up working on larger amounts of that code...
