We might push it to net-2.6 We need to think a bit more about this. We are essentially now saying that one can only configure tunnels 3 levels deep, and no more. I can guarentee you someone out there uses at least 4, perhaps more. And those people will be broken by the new limit. So putting this into net-2.6 with such a low limit will be quite dangerous. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
