I say the only sensible reason to have it in or not is to look at other *nix vendors if it is not specified in any of the multiple standards and see what they do. Linux is not a router OS, so looking at what funky routers do is not the answer. Linux is a *nix look-a-like, so should follow what the majority of other vendors do if this is not in any standard that we wish to follow. End of story. I don't care if it breaks diald or ISDN cards or whatever. If it is diametrically opposed to the standards and/or what other *nix vendors do, then it is wrong.
