If you introduce priorities in the event loop, you can make sure that
flapping sessions cannot disrupt other sessions.

I already thought about event priorities when I wrote the event loop,
but I finally chose simplicity and decided that priorities can be added
later if it turns out that they are needed.

I think that once we decide that we need threading, it's better to
do it once and well. I thought about it some years ago and it seems
it won't be too complicated.

Wouldn't it be better to get rid of kernel scans completely? :-)

I think they should not be needed on current Linux systems, they are
there only to make sure that no Netlink packets with updates got dropped.

				Have a nice fortnight
