Great to hear!  I get a good one every now and then.

I've actually used that to good effect in the past when setting up an
interface intentionally marked down.  It's usually more obvious, though,
to do something like this:

$ cat > /etc/hostname.e1000g0 <<EOF
10.0.0.1/24 broadcast +
down
EOF

In any event, the behavior is legacy.  It's just "always" worked that
way.  I suspect it may have been added to accommodate IPMP, but I no
longer have the history available to do that sort of SCCS spelunking.
