I do wish the mothership would update its standard network configuration scripts to use ip(8) rather than the legacy ifconfig(8). Rather than using the legacy eth0:1 style interface aliases, allow a single /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to contain a list of aliases which get set with

  ip addr add ......

ditto optional static routes could be set with

  ip route add ...

The great mothership fulfilled your wishes retrospectively if you use route-eth0 to set your routes :) Eg.

	1.2.3.4 via 4.3.2.1
	8.4.2.0/24 via 7.5.3.1

would be the same as:

	route add -host 1.2.3.4 gw 4.3.2.1
	route add -net 8.4.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 7.5.3.1
