IMHO it should be enabled by default, it's been in glibc since version
2.3.
Some programs benefit a lot in the configuration department from it,
for example samba.
Doing a interfaces=192.168.1.1/255/255/255.0 statement versus a
interfaces=eth0 statement in the configuration file is a big bonus to
me.
I'm sending a patch right away.
