   when set to "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager".
 * Drop build support with Python2. Python3 is now required.
 * nmcli: limit number of printed addresses/routes in `nmcli` overview to 10.
+* Limit number of exported IP addresses/routes on D-Bus to 100 to reduce
+  performance cost. Also, D-Bus updates for addresses/routes are now rate
+  limited to 3 per second.
