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? 

I don't think you should remove existing features in the middle of a stable
release cycle.  If you want to have a compile option, that defaults to off,
allows some new algorithm, then that sounds more reasonable...

And I don't think the majority of people would see the printk untill way
too late.
