I think the checkin comment was > something along the lines of "make it unconditional unless Alan > complains about kernel bloat" :) And I did complain. "Red Hat needs XYZ so we make it mandatory" is not an appropriate approach to a problem.

No you did not complain. I asked you specifically if it was ok, and your response was that turning netlink/rtnetlink on by default was fine with you.
It has zilch to do with redhat anything, in fact I had to ask vendors first if they could still fit the kernel on their boot disks if I added ~5K of object code to kernels with networking enabled.
It has everything to do with iproute2 and tcp_diag using it.
