The change itself is not a huge change but if you disagree, then
please be specific.
The current mechanism and code is broken according to the original
design intention.

I have a habit of not committing things or quick finger until everyone
had a chance
to test the patch, although I have done unit testings myself. When you say
"... made the kernel toxic" and "...I don't want to assume ...", well, again, be
specific instead about what you mean and give me details.

The other reason I decided to postpone is because I wanted to spend
more time with
the PPP driver. Every other PPP interface types (if_tun, if_ng etc.)
updates the if_link_state
variable except PPP.

I have seen that report but it lacks detail. I have asked for more
information and
will investigate further as soon as it becomes available.
