Thomas Hood and others have now (AFAIK) moved the ifupdown state into tmpfs if tmpfs is found, which goes a bit in the direction of that TODO item. People wanting to get involved in ifupdown development should somehow get in touch with that list. I'm not sure if it's invitation only�I can't find mentions about the list on the web), but I'm on it because of guessnet, and I can ask if someone is interested.
