You mean for master mode?  Yes, it's still broken.  ("We don't break
userspace", they said.)  I agree, it's annoying.

I'm too old for netlink stuff.  But, well, if you point me (again?) at the
right interfaces, I'll see what I can do.

You'll need to do some more debugging, Dave, you're not giving me enough
information.

I'm not sure about that.  If you're rotating addresses gracefully, you
want the deprecated addresses to still be reachable from the outside --
that's why deprecation only affects local address selection.

Look again -- the code was correct, just indented badly.
