Totally agreed. 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?
