Hi Jouke,
I don't use netcfg, so sorry if these questions are stupid:

Does this mean that the old config will stop working? Without a deprecation notice, this is going to screw a lot of people over, if it has been removed. Especially since WIRED_INTERFACE couldn't even be read from both files in the 2.7.x version (commit 9564b6c66), you need a migration period for this.
- Connection types ending in '-old', '-dbus' and '-iproute' are discontinued. Remove the suffix if you still have it: you didn't need it.
Does this mean that things will stop working for people who don't update their config?
If at all possible, it is usually for the best if we let old configs continue to work, but remove their documentation and print warnings when they are used (but maybe that's what you have done :-) ). As a comparison, the old network syntax in rc.conf still works, even though we complain when it is used.
