Because network_interfaces provides no useful functionality and needless added complexity. If you want an interface to be configured, set an ifconfig_<foo> variable and make sure the interface exists by the time rc.d/netif is run (by configuring your kernel or /boot/loader.conf correctly) or add it to the appropriate wlans_<bar>, gif_interfaces, cloned_interfaces, etc list. If you don't want it configured make sure there isn't a ifconfig_<foo> variable set. -- Brooks
