Subject: No implementation of NETLINK_USERSOCK ?

Some 6 months ago I asked about a way to make network protocol
servers(s) that live in userspace, but whose application interface
still uses kernel socket calls.

I recall getting an answer that there is  NETLINK_USERSOCK for that
use.  I have tried to have a look into what NETLINK_USERSOCK
supplies to its users, but alas there appears to be no implementation
at all in existence.   Is it some sort of placeholder of things
to implement some day ?
