Agreed.

I believe that this was introduced to support IPv6 over ATM, which is
described in PSARC 1999/446 and 2001/023 [1].  AFAIK, the only driver
that ever supported this was Sun's ATM driver, which was EOL'ed by PSARC
2006/272.

[1] FWIW, I just sifted through the materials for both 1999/446 and
2001/023, and changed both of their exposures to "open".  The cases
should show up in the open caselog at some point soon when they're next
pushed.
