All, I realize this has been discussed and there are definite opinions about which method works well. So, I want to take a different approach.
Is there any interest in documenting and supporting newnet along side oldnet as opposed to killing newnet? Newnet would consist of the "network" init script to set up your loopback interface along with something like dhcpcd, networkmanager, or wicd (and wpa_supplicant for wireless interfaces) running in standalone mode to manage your other interfaces. My understanding of the way newnet works is that the big advantage would come for workstations that have a simple network setup and where users would want hotplugged interfaces to just work. Any thoughts? William
