Those words do not appear on that page. I don't know which sentence(s) you're actually referring to. The closest thing I see there is "so long as the network infrastructure is perfect", which refers to the DHCP server, not the Debian system. A lot of us run Debian systems on networks where we DO NOT CONTROL the DHCP server, and have to work around it. That's what the introduction of the page is talking about. In any case, appeasing EVERY reader is impossible. I have to use vague wording to try to make sure nobody is offended that their personal preference configuration is not snubbed. No matter how utterly batshit insane such a configuration may be from my point of view. I'm also forced to relegate the chattr solution to the end of the page, and couch it in caveats, because some people think that it's wrong. They can't say WHY it's wrong, of course. Maybe because it's too simple and effective. I dunno. People are horrible sometimes. With all that in mind, and considering that this is a WIKI and you may edit it your damned SELF if you disagree with the content, what is your actual disagreement?
