… for interfaces with static IP addresses.This is quite reasonable, and most likely unavoidable for DHCP-based network ports. But for ports with explicitly defined static IP addresses, having them configured based on the presence of a carrier makes no logical sense, whatsoever, and ends up accomplishing absolutely nothing useful except breaking servers. As we've seen happen, time and time again.
I defy anyone to identify a tangible benefit that comes from removing a static IP address from a port when it loses carrier, and installing one only once a carrier is present. I tried to play devil's advocate, but couldn't come up with a single damn reason.
