Note that meanwhile it looks like there is development on net-tools again. There is even a git repo: http://sourceforge.net/p/net-tools/code/ci/master/tree/
Did anyone check whether they already fixed some of the concerns or plan to?
It would be definitely possible to address some of them but some are intrinsic and cannot be fixed without breaking backward compatibility which would be IMHO even worse than throwing out the utilities. It can be seen e.g. in how ifconfig is handling the network layer addresses: while IPv4 addresses are still _set_ for an interface and ifconfig (or rather the ioctl interface it is using) pretends the IP aliasing from 2.0 kernel is still there, IPv6 addresses are added and removed (which is how it actually works for both IPv4 and IPv6).
