> Kernel minimum version requirement discussion
> ---------------------------------------------
> - What should our policy be on minimum kernel version needed for networking
>   features?
> - Paul Z: Zebra should warn if a user tries to configure a feature and it's not
>   supported
> - Martin W: `show features` command to inform user would be useful
> - Others: Agreed on both counts
> - Donald: If we implement the above, developers should be mindful when
>   implementing kernel-specific features to update both of these things and it
>   will be something to look for in future code reviews.
