I personally like netifrc default but there is no good way to use it as |
| 33 |
default we will need to keep use flag arbitrary long or add netifrc to |
| 34 |
@system but it will return us back to the problems of users who doesn't |
| 35 |
want to have netifrc on their systems. And with the rise of systems and NM |
| 36 |
the number of such users will grow. Anyway I'd like to see base system herd |
| 37 |
vote. |
