   Netlink2 draft is work in progress. The draft tends to lag reality.
   I believe what you refer to has been fixed. Refer to the slides at:
   http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~rha/netlink2.pdf
 ...   
   Consider netlink2 as a distributed netlink.

Beautiful, if you're going to allow this protocol to go over the wire,
you have to choose a network byte order and swap in/out of it.

Should be fun :)

Unfortunately I see no mention of this issue in the slides, should I
be scared?
