hummmm ... do you meant

"Here is a patch for the management of the bad/good checksum for ISIS
(like TCP/UDP/IP).

support added for :
 - booleans hf_isis_lsp_checksum_good, hf_isis_lsp_checksum_bad in the tree,
 - information in the info column if bad checksum,
 - expert info for bad checksum,
 - color filters update"


Read in this context, it seems clear to me. At least it is clear that I
haven't updated a rule for OSPF which indicates that a new SPT has been
computed.


Anyway, as I said I don't care whether this rule is released ... I am
just a little bit circumspect about the reasons and tried to know more.
