Do not script around ifconfig. It has been deprecated - right there in the man page - for almost a decade.
Arguably there does come a point when people start to wonder when a deprecated command is actually going to go away. 10 years is a long "advance notice". At some point, people are going to stop taking that notation seriously. It's kinda like people wondering what meaning "beta" had for Google as long as gmail was in beta.
