Just a side note about something that came up recently:

IPaddr2 cloning utilizes the iptables "clusterip" feature, which has
been deprecated in the Linux kernel since 2015. IPaddr2 cloning
therefore must be considered deprecated as well. (Using it for a single
floating IP is still fully supported.)

IPaddr2 could be modified to use a newer iptables capability called
"xt_cluster", but someone would have to volunteer to do that as it's
not a priority.
