What decision? I only see something about Patch 6 and Patch 7: Antonio
Quartulli doesn't want rtnetlink support in batman-adv. I don't see
any other statement about the rest of the patchset.

Quoting Antonio:

Anyway, I discussed about this together with the others and it seems
that a proper solution now is to wait before merging this patchset and fix the
current sysfs/rtnl_lock problem first. What do you think?

Adding a new API without fixing the current one doesn't sound like a good
move.

What isn't clear ?

AFAIK patch 6 and 7 are the "new" rtnetlink API. The rest can be
categorized as fixes for bugs and for the wrong way to implementation
things. But I've discussed it with the others and now we found out:
batman-adv doesn't care about the rest of the kernel and bugs are not
relevant compared to egocentric statements.
