--jq0ap7NbKX2Kqbes Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline So based on the feedback I saw, there were two use cases where there wasn't another easy way to do what setting network_interface's. Yours (though I think my suggestion may well work) and Matthew Seaman's which won't actually work in 8.0 without other config changes. In both cases, those uses reflect a failure to support valid use cases which is a good reason to leave the ability to set network_interfaces in place. That being said I'd still like to see the warning restored because: - It doesn't prevent using these workarounds. - It reduces support issues due to misuse. - Most reported uses were in fact wrong. - Removing network_interfaces will help us move toward a state of more dynamic configuration to better match system realities. -- Brooks --jq0ap7NbKX2Kqbes Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFKQ/8yXY6L6fI4GtQRAtDQAJ49tJPBLbxxTd5XLotDntMutKPJLACg5cju 3jKJ7pBpks/idt22hvIwrJ8= =cdY+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jq0ap7NbKX2Kqbes--
