The current maintainer has indicated that he is holding up the quagga  
0.99.10 port until an unknown time when the TCP MD5 checksum patches  
are again working in the tree.  I don't think that this is the right  
thing to do, as the TCP MD5 checksums are not necessary for the vast  
majority of installations, and DO NOT work with a GENERIC kernel.

I'd like to request that the port be split into two ports -- one with  
a stock quagga installation, and the other with the MD5 checksum  
patches, due to the instability and constant work on said patches  
making the port unstable.  (and being unavailable right now holds up  
access to a major bugfix line)
