I think someone should just flush ifconfig down some toilet. a wrapper
around "ip" to to give the same look and feel as ifconfig would be a good
thing so that some stupid program that depends on ifconfig look and feel
would be a good start.
Not to stray from the subject, Ben's effort is still needed. I think real
numbers are useful instead of claims like it "displayed faster"
