It can also
be the case that the longest matching prefix entry has no matching
TOS key, whereas a shorter prefix does.
No routing protocols are distributing TOS-specific routes, and there is
no prospect of that feature ever coming back.  Why pay the cost of
matching TOS on every packet forwarded?
Because once we add functionality to the kernel we can't simply
rip it out.  People do use TOS routing, via static routes or
similar.
I'm not so sure anybody uses it really. How about adding a printk for it 
and seeing if anybody complains?
