Hello,
Well, for me personally distinguishing private router options does not
increase readability. If I set a option I need to understand what it
does and why I want it. The information that it is specific to the
redirect router or would apply to ipliteral router does not interest
me a lot.
But that is really just me personally, so I do not think it should
count for much in the discussion.
OTOH I have pretty good idea that renaming the option and dropping the
old name would cause loads of work for many people in the distribution
context (Debian).
BTW: Do we currently have router options that do not apply to all
routers but are shared by at least two of them?
