Granted most people only have simple configurations (with single IP address and just a default route), but some of us have more complex networking environments with multiple addresses, routes and rules on multiple interfaces. Currently Gentoo baselayout-1 makes it relatively straightforward to set up these configurations, and the current baselayout-2 is almost as simple[1]. I think it would be a bad idea to remove any of the network configuration functionality currently offered by baselayout-1. [1] But in my opinion, the baselayout-1 /etc/net.conf syntax is better than that in baselayout-2. Though I have not yet migrated any of the systems with complex networking to baselayout-2. -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
