Totally agreed. But what are really the points of maximum stickiness?
Obviously, configuration files and command line interfaces.
So, for a new network management framework, this means
- using ifconfig/route should continue to work (ie the service
shouldn't touch interfaces unless told so)
- there should be ifup/ifdown scripts that offer the same
semantics as the current ones, as far as possible.
- there should be a way to parse old-style ifcfg files
Could you think of any other?
