netstat routing table (verbose) output

[Frank Kardel <kardel%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Hi,

once upon a time (NetBSD 6.x and before) the command
netstat -nvrf inet
delivered:

Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use    Mtu 
Interface
default            10.0.2.1           UGS        15 35833864      -  nfe0
        expire            0   recvpipe          0   sendpipe          0
        ssthresh          0   rtt               0   rttvar            0

        expire   1398341586   recvpipe          0   sendpipe          0
        ssthresh          0   rtt          109375   rttvar        93750
        hopcount          0

Nowadays (-current) I only see the same output as without the -v option.

Is this deliberate? Is this a regression?

The -v option was useful to check things like hopcount and diagnose 
routing trouble.
The route show <dest> command still outputs the hopcount and other 
information, but not the entire routing table in extended format.

Is there a plan to re-instate the functionality?

Best regards,
  Frank
