The quickest way to convince people that your changes don't introduce any r= egressions is to create a thorough test suite. There are probably users out= there who parse the output of ifconfig in improvised fashion and their par= sers may be sensitive to even small changes in the output format. Because ifconfig is also available as /rescue/ifconfig, make sure to preser= ve the operation of that version too. Best regards, Jordan Gordeev
