BTW, Andrew raised a very valid point - if they get it wrong, wouldn't
the best approach have been to make that script accept the netmask both
in a.b.c.d and CIDR notiation? It's not as if the two aren't readily
distinguished by their syntax...
Then it would have worked fine for both the people who read the
documentation and for those who don't.
Changing names in a stable release is ... we'll have to carry the
backwards compatibility forever.
