Severity: normal
> * Deprecate (undocument) "--exclude" option.
The "exclude" feature is being used by netbase to exclude lo from the
list of interfaces to deconfigure at shutdown time.
Does the deprecation of "--exclude" imply that the "allow" feature
should be used instead? I.e., should netbase do
ifdown -a --allow=auto-down
on shutdown instead of "ifdown -a --exclude=lo"? That will result
in rather different behavior. Instead of all interfaces being
downed except lo, _no_ interfaces will be downed except those that
the administrator adds to an "allow-auto-down" stanza.
Is this the intent?
