It sounds like it does the same thing as ifupdown for static, simple
networks, but doesn't include the more complex stuff.
It's an interesting option to have available. I could see possibly using
it on servers that don't care about any of the DHCP or wireless
complexity, just to have simpler code paths. But I suspect we'd want to
leave it turned off by default in Debian for the forseeable future, at
least as long as we have active ifupdown maintainers who are still
interested in keeping that system working. The transition to something
else would be annoying, and it's not clear there would be much benefit.
