Are you suggesting that
ifup foo
do this?:
ifrename -i foo # Renames foo to bar
ifup bar

I don't see the point in supporting hot plugging on systems that don't

Roaming is another issue. When someone moves from one location to
another he can reconfigure an interface; however, he doesn't normally
_rename_ the interface at that time.
