But what are really the points of maximum stickiness? Obviously, configuration files and command line interfaces. So, for a new network management framework, this means - using ifconfig/route should continue to work (ie the service shouldn't touch interfaces unless told so) - there should be ifup/ifdown scripts that offer the same semantics as the current ones, as far as possible. - there should be a way to parse old-style ifcfg files Could you think of any other?
