why can't a *replacement* come out with *all* of the old features AND ONLY AFTER THAT add whatever new whatchamacallit the developer wants? in real world engineering this is a given. Ah yes, that's why on all new cars you always have the option to start them with a hand crank - after all, that was a feature that was ubiquitous in older cars, and in real world engineering, features are never dropped
I own a 1919 Model-T Ford depot hack - and I have the steel rod in my wrist to prove it. Some technologies need to die. But it does give me something in common with Wolverine. While ifconfig has never tossed me ten feet and broken my arm... I don't get the argument about less features - "ip" is *way* for featureful [word?] than ifconfig.
why do coders (or whoever pushes forth *new* crap) think this is immaterial? What is it you can do in ifconfig that you can't do in ip?
