To make ifconfig obsolete is really weird. It sounds to me that

ifconfig has been obsolete for a long time (in the sense that ip does
more stuff, not in the packaging sense).
Obsolete or not, I have macros built into my fingers that type out things
like "ifconfig eth0" when I am fishing for answers. Otherwise I hand edit
ifcfg-eth0 or its kith and kin. The GUI tool disappoints me when I try to
use it.
