you are right. ifconfig USE to be able to do this, but now it is just a

Your memory isn't quite accurate... ifconfig has never handled multiple IP addresses on an interface with aliases being used to create separate virtual interfaces instead.
It is also not a shell over ip but rather a completely different package with a completely different development history...
This is just yet another example of why net-tools has been deprecated a long time and that people really need to break their muscle memory and use iproute2 ...
Is net-tools still in the base fedora install? Probably long since time to pull it if so... I know el7 doesn't include it in base or core package groups anymore at least..
