  | So unless someone offers a good
  | reason not to, I propose to commit the patch I posted within the next
  | day or so; plus any further feedback.

I just realised that I wasn't explicit in my "further feedback".

I intended to explicitly suggest making the destination address a
parameter to your ip_newid() function.

That allows for various types of ID generation - including the
single incremented counter (where the arg address is simply ignored).
