Another reason to be glad I'mn not tracking -current, I guess.  (I'd
much rather just pay a performance penalty if noncontiguous netmasks

You can't imagine any reason to use them, so no such reason exists?

Hrrmpf.  (Well, actually, I suppose it's more "...so you're willing to
make NetBSD useless for such networks".  Still hrrmpf.)
