Sounds good to me. How about if I upload an initial split version (and
reassign bugs, and whatnot), then you take it over from there?

Well, the only things that care about the syntax are ifupdown, and
whatever scripts users might have. ifupdown can be changed to support
both syntaxes, and users' scripts obviously can too. Of course, there's
arp and netstat which are part of net-tools but AFIAK not replaced by
iproute, so the | might not work anyway.
