Not sure what ifconfig got to do with virtualization? In most virtual machine cases the vnics are never plumbed. Anyway, the goal is to make it as simple and useful as possible. If one command line starts extending to multiple lines, then breaking it up in multiple sub commands makes sense. But right now I don't see the need/risk. Things as they are were done after lot of feedback from users. Cheers, Sunay
