Thank you for your work in the last few years, it made ifupdown more bearable... Maybe this is the right time to think hard about what we should do about network configuration: Red Hat proposes NM for both desktop and servers (even if they still support their legacy shell scripts), and in stretch we will have a featureful systemd-networkd. Maybe it's just me, but I do not like much the idea of choosing a Python-based program as the default network configuration system. For a start it would make python transitively important. -- ciao, Marco
