But as log as Debian uses ifupdown in the default install, we can't remove it. We can point out ifupdowns shortcomings in trainings, but we have to cover it. Here is the difference to net-tools: net-tools has shortcomings and is no longer used in any relevant distribution during startup. So let's get rid of it.

RHEL 5 is in "End of Production" since March 31, 2017, though it has "Extended Life-cycle Support" till 2020. General Support for SLES 11 ends in 31 Mar 2019, LTSS ends 2022. That's the oldest generation of supported linux distros today. SLES 11 and CentOS both used ip instead of net-tools for startup. So there is no point in keeping net-tools. But one more reason to keep ifupdown for another 5 years.
