I'm currently looking into this, my plan is, read gives you always the specifc
address, mask and whole cidr separated and write writes it out as you changed
it (adress in cidr format).

Not sure what side should be fixed, but during a stable release I do not want
to change the API return structures such that existing ui needs to adapt, if
avoidable. As this can also break existing external applications - which is
not ideal. So we need to move and check definitively more careful than we did
with this until now.
