Agree! Just a flag (ARP_ISOLATED, default to 0) in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*? The default behaviour of the current (and future kernels) stays as it is now, so it doesn't break for anyone, and a lot of people (including me :) benefit from a much easier setup. No need to implement a whole hidden scenario either.
