The etxff_eth metric is not widespread, because its incompatible with 
the etxff and etx metric. There is no upgrade path for a network to it 
except for "switch on day X".

We included it because people wanted to experiment with the idea, to see 
if it makes life easier in certain situations. But I doubt it will 
become the default metric anywhere, especially because you have to tag 
interfaces as "ethernet" to be able to use the metric. If you do not do 
the tagging thing, its the same as etxff.
