Sorry, I don't know that some users rely on it and I send that patch
again. In our case,

there are many containers, on host, where running the
different type containers and applications. We don't know what network
configuration
user will set. The new containers don't inherit our host configuration.

* host _init_net_ may be used as a complex network. (the rp_filter, arp_ignore
  and arp_announce may be used.) but containers use them as default.
Host network
  configuration should not affect containers.
* containers and host network configuration are complete isolation.

so, we should support configuration for user, inherit _init_net_ value or not ?
