It provides a helpful means of abstraction, I find. Rather than
keeping n files for each of m locations somewhere, and adding
n /bin/ln calls to m interfaces(5) stanzas, I prefer to add the
n files to the filesystem (as I have to do in any case) and rely on
switchconf to process them all with a single call.
