At that time there was just one recipe depending on libnl2 and that was FSO2.
I think one month ago JaMa has build the first SHR image without libnl(1), 
until then it was impossible because of some important parts. I'm not sure but 
i think the main blocker was bluez4 (Can't check now).

But i think there are a lot minor packages that still require libnl and don't 
support libnl2.
