Yes. Support for proxy-arp of subnets was removed in 2.1.x kernels long ago
(more then half-year for sure; may be year). Since noone complained when this
ugly hack was removed I think that there was so little users of this "feature"
that chances to get this back is quite low...

not so hard. Just noone is interested (me including :-)...
