THAT's the real reason why toybox should keep ifconfig and friends. pre existing systems we want toybox to be a drop in replacement for already assume the existence of ifconfig. If a power user thinks the ip command is better, they can install that to. The two can live quite happily with each other. If something we want to be a drop in replacement for requires the ip command, we can do both with some shared code. Toybox already has an ifconfig implementation. If you want an ip implementation, submit one. If you don't want ifconfig in toybox, disable it when you build it. The rest of the arguments seem pretty pointless and annoying. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
