Does iproute going to have a more conservative policy than the kernel?
It looks pretty ridiculous.
iproute2 is released always immediately after every kernel
for very good reasons:

Right now, Fedora 23 kernel is "4.4" and iproute is still "4.1".
A nonsense.
iproute2 should stay close to the its kernel version.
And this rule should be applied also to others kernel related utils/tools.
