Not to put words in his mouth, but that's how original BSD maintainer
Mike Karels seemed to feel when we raised this issue for FreeBSD.  He
was like, what?  We're wasting an address per subnet for 4.2BSD
compatability?  Since 1986?  Let's fix that.

Don’t get me started on BSD vs. IETF Standards… The whole stupidity
around VRRP and CARP still irritates me, so I don’t think holding up
the BSD attitude towards network standards is helping your case any.
