Personally, I would like to remove everything but basic ethernet support from initscripts (that would also include removing wireless, but some people were too strictly against that). What I am saying is, investing time into integrating more network stuff into initscripts is time wasted, as complex setups like bonding or bridging can be much better implemented in netcfg and the work should be spent on that instead.
I second this. We should concentrate on netcfg for network setup in future. Initscripts will just get too complicated (e.g. they don't support ipv& atm) while the same functionality is already provided by another package n core. I would even completely remove the network and netfs deamon from initscripts; but I guess there wont be much support for this. :-) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
