Any response to this theory?
So currently I am thinking for 0.9.10:
- flip the default value of monitor-connection-files from true
to false for all users, not just server (with a release note)
- ship a server.conf with:
no-auto-default=*
ignore-carrier=*
- tweak the ignore-carrier behavior so that if an ignore-carrier
device comes up, and it has no active connection, and a DHCP
connection could be activated on it, then we activate that
connection.
And for "future":
- further improve the ignore-carrier/DHCP behavior, so that if
an ignore-carrier device comes up, and it *does* have an active
DHCP connection, we renew the lease without taking the device
down.
