Hehe. Good idea. But, it kind of defeats the point of using a distro like
Red Hat's then doesn't it :)

Actually they have improved. Take for example dhcp - you can now set
"PEERDNS" in your ifcfg-eth* file to control dhcpcd (or pump) overwriting
your /etc/resolv.conf. Back in the day you had to edit ifup to change the
call to dhcpcd, and since it's really a symlink to /sbin/ifup you would lose
it on an upgrade.
