My case is perfectly clear. We already have dev.* for this, and you
want to add a second, confusing, place to put similar/same information...
Yes, this is specific for network interfaces, but what makes a network
interface special that it's configuration can't live in dev.*? You
stated that you were fine w/ some items being in dev.* and others in
net.if.* for the same device, which is why I objected.
