In fact, I have multiple IPs on a single interface right now on the
machine where I write this letter. And I never used 'ip' before for
configuring it and probably I never will. Have you ever heared of such
thing as 'interface alias'? It's what I always used on *BSD, Linux, and
other *nix systems. And yes, command 'ifconfig' shows me those IPs too.
So I would say, such very distro-specific tool as 'ip' will never ever
can be called as 'standard' one. I'm sorry.

You mean MacOS-X, *BSD, Solaris, etc. are all dead and breaking the
standards? You've made me laugh. :)
