API extension for IPv6 Flags

Hi,

we want to use libnl to read the IPv6 specific flags (e.g.
IF_RA_MANAGED, IF_RA_OTHERCONF) from a rtnl_link struct.
I have seen these flags are already stored using the inet6_data struct
but are not accessible using the libnl-route API.
Is such an interface extension imaginable or already planned?
Or could you give me any advice which requirements such an interface
extension must met so that you would accept it for upstream?

Best regards,
Markus
