And just saying I don't like it and reverting to a even worse diff is also
not ok. Sorry but your reasoning here is wrong. You never could realy
justify why you need to see the media state in bgpctl show nexthop when
the same info is available in bgpctl show interface (where it belongs).
Actually we have already ifconfig(8) which shows this info as well.
So sure revert it, don't show the info people actually need to see to
figure out why the hell all the traffic flows in the wrong direction, it
seems it is more important to see the fluffy "UP, Ethernet, active, 100 MBit/s"
repeated dozens of times.

Nexthop              State     
192.0.2.126          valid     rl2     UP, Ethernet, active, 100 MBit/s

I just don't get it why almost 50% of a line is spent for redundant and
unimportant information and what's so bad about:

Nexthop              Gateway              State      Interface  Link State
192.0.2.1            connected            valid      fxp0       active
