https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261828 --- Comment #8 from Michael Gmelin <grembo@FreeBSD.org> --- This change could break people's existing automation though. The commit which added echoing the interface name[0] gives an example of why this was added in the first place: $ ifconfig tap create mtu 9000 tap0 $ ifconfig tap create mtu 9000 name blah blah So there is a (small?) potential for a POLA violation. Even if that's not considered an issue, the one-line change wouldn't cut it, as it leaves dead code behind.
