Comment 2 for bug 997605

I certainly agree with the problem and we've been hit by some other weirder instances of it (privacy extensions).

This is ultimately a kernel bug where "all" and "default" mean the same thing for sys/net/ipv6/conf entries.
This is obviously wrong, "all" should be updating "all" interfaces and "default" should be applying only to new ones. However the network subsystem maintainer seems to disagree based on the feedback to our patch last cycle.

Anyway, this bug isn't related to netbase or to any other userspace networking packages but is an actual kernel bug, once fixed in the kernel, sysctl will work as expected.

Re-assigning to the linux kernel and adding bot-stop-nagging to prevent their bot from spamming this report.
