We had it.

It was part of the original implementation that others decided to rip out because of politics. 

I doubt the powers that be (who tore it out) will put it back and will inhibit anyone else doing so. 

I’m sure I have the code somewhere if you really want to try.

I am interested in implementing similar support in FreeBSD - is there anyone already working on this or perhaps the right mentor for adding this functionality? NetBSD has a similar functionality exposed through the wgconfig tool.
