Need for such an API is to a degree indicated in the Carrier Grade Linux
requirements by The Linux Foundation (former OSDL).
    

Something being in the CGL specification is to me exactly a great
reason NOT to add it.  That specification is so full of garbage it's
unbelievable.

Thanks, you've given me one more reason not to even remotely consider
adding this feature.
  

Agreed, CGL is a vendor driven group that has always wanted to replicate
proprietary misfeatures onto Linux.  There is a real requirement to
provide high availability but there should be no requirement to implement
the solution in the same crap way as legacy Unix.
