I think when that happens, we can talk about it, until that happens I'm ignoring
the closed driver, as I can't ship it, so it doesn't exist from my current POV.

I will state on record, that I could be convinced to drop radv in the future,
as it's been a really interesting project and great learning experience, but
if something maintainable and open source friendly appears with an open
not thrown over the wall development methodology, then I'd get behind it.
