--- Comment #7 from Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm strongly against the sysctl, and reasons are same as before. Sysctl knob is
global. You can make it per-vnet, but your patch lacks that. You could even
make it per-interface, but that would require quite a lot of extra code.

The IFF_LINK flag is a lesser patch, and immediately gives you a per-interface
configuration granularity, which of course implies per-vnet. Setting flag in
rc.conf requires same efforts as putting a line in sysctl.conf.

Changing the default is different question, and should be discussed separately.
