Of course if the info. were available in sysctl(), and administrative programs used that, we wouldn't have to worry about order, spelling changes, headers, whitespace, or added fields. You ask for e.g. packet count, you get packet count, or an error return if the driver is too old to support packet count. If you get a "not supported" return, you don't show that column in the report.
