The only problem I know if with iproute is that it is Priority: optional.

That was my intent in filing it. As you describe the move from net-tools to 
iproute will require some transition. I was hoping this bug could be used 
to keep track of other things in debian that need to change. I think the 
transition could also be tracked on a wiki page, but I do like the idea of 
having a bug in the BTS that people will see when they look there. The BTS 
is the first place I look.

Having bugs open in the BTS for a long time is not a personal reflection on 
the maintainer of the package or the quality of the package. Nor was it my 
intent to demand that you personally drive any sort of transition. The BTS 
is a tool used to make debian better. Now maybe it suffers from "if you 
have a hammer everything looks like a nail" problem...

Do you agree that debian should move to iproute as the default way of 
configuring networking? If so, how would you like to track that transition?

Thanks,
