Still, newnet is geared towards such setups and it is reflected |
28 |
in the way it handles things. /This/ I meant by "language". And |
29 |
yes, going from complicated arrays to iproute2 syntax *is* a |
30 |
change that may blow up in your face, if you don't use those |
31 |
tools every day. |
32 |
|
33 |
I'm not saying change is bad, but needless change with little |
34 |
functional benefit is - especially in this case where you can |
35 |
have the benefits of newnet (simply using the system tools in |
36 |
scripts) without switching from oldnet to newnet, as Luca has |
37 |
pointed out. |
