This is really interesting for running Linux jails, including Linux containers via runj. Any network configuration (or introspection) that they do, either using native Linux syscalls or via scripts that wrap ip should Just Work.
Historically, this kind of non-syscall kernel interface has been the weakest link for Linux ABI compat.
It’s also interesting for folks moving from Linux to FreeBSD, since it means that they can bring their familiar tools with them.
