If I got the stories right the WDS (bridging) stuff was good in
tricking Olsrd1 believing a long range multihop (and well working
link) was a well working single-hop link.

This was definitely necessary in OLSRv1 because it had no concept of
link speed and neighborhood size.

But the real solution should be to make sure Olsrd2 measures the link
cost right... so if there are good examples of links Olsrd2 classifies
"too good", a modification of the metric would be the right thing.
