I understand your concern, and it probably was a poor design choice initially.

Since this will change the output for the default case, it will upset some
peoples expectations and potentially break scripts that screen scrape the output
of ip commands. Therefore I can't accept it at this time.

Sorry for the delay, but I thought someone else would add more comments.
Perhaps if you explained in more detail the motivation of why this is an
important problem I would reconsider change the behavior.
