This doesn't quite match what we do with other sockets (where we have
both ipv4 and ipv6 booleans to allow IPv4-only, IPv6-only, or both).  Is
this something where we can reuse InetSocketAddress instead of inventing
yet another way of doing things?

Then again, it does match what NetdevL2TPv3Options did :(

Worth listing what the defaults are for these optional fields when not
present?

You've missed 2.9 by a long shot.  You've also missed 2.10 softfreeze
for a new feature, so this should read since 2.11.

Worth adding a comment that 'gre' is since 2.11 (look for other enums
that have had additions after the initial release of the enum, for an
example of the preferred format).

Okay.

Not okay.  NetLegacy should never grow again (that's the whole point of
it being legacy - we're trying to phase it out).
