But also, what=E2=80=99s the technical justification for this change? =
There
should not be gratuitous differences between architectures like this,
only when there is a reason something shouldn=E2=80=99t be enabled. Why =
should
x86 (and possibly arm64) get netlink, but not arm/powerpc/riscv? We
have very few machine-dependent defaults in src.opts.mk. If there is no
such justification then please revert this in its entirety, and if
there is such a justification it belongs in a comment above the if.
