On Linux, enough.  Like, not noticing when you change networks, and
instead of flushing prefix information that is no longer valid
(because you're not connected to that network anymore), blindly
accumulating new prefixes for every network visited...  supposedly
"this is for userland to notice and clean up", or so.
