12 Why do you suggest masking it immediately?
13 Emerging it without changing any use-flags, has oldnet enabled by default, so
14 user gets exactly the same net init-scripts as with openrc-0.4 before, so
15 where is the regression that needs to be masked?
16 One can still use the same stuff and nobody is forced to transition to the new
17 network script.
