Oups, I misread :/ Then my answer is "we didn't even released 2, so let's keep discussion about 3 for later" ( seriously, it didn't even occurs to me that we would start discussing 3 right now ) Personnaly, I think that would be good to have something better than current initscripts and shell based approach for managing network ( since we already manage the network with ifplugd, having a daemon is not a so big problem, and I am sure we could have a mode where the daemon apply the configuration and then disappear, if that make people less nervous ). But I would really make sure that people agree with the change. I would rather avoid having the same type of discussion than on fedora-devel -- Michael Scherer
