[...] But you have hit upon a great point. Think of all the things from plasma widgets to superkaramba themes to just about every network related package that currently uses ifconfig. That is a whole lot of recoding if ifconfig goes away.
FWIW, to be honest, this discussion about ifconfig being deprecated and it will go away is about 7-8 years old now... Due to the fact that ifconfig is still around, I'd wouldn't bet on anyone claiming otherwise. But, as I haven't looked at factory anytime soon, I may be mistaken, and something - shown to us as a disclaimer for almost a decade now - has finally been made reality. I'd say, 7-8 years of a warning period should be enough for _everyone_ to adopt scripts...
