I don't think you are going to find anyone here stating that the USE |
| 7 |
flag itself is not documented. The heart of the matter is that, not |
| 8 |
only do we testers find the sweeping API changes poorly documented |
| 9 |
(preventing properly testing them and starting this thread), but there |
| 10 |
are many regressions, several of which are non-starters. |

Seemingly simple things like configuring static routes, setting MTUs, |
| 13 |
and bringing up interfaces after configuring them have fallen by the |
| 14 |
wayside for no apparent reason, and with zero documentation. Even PPP |
| 15 |
interface support has been dropped with little explanation other than |
| 16 |
"get that old script from mrness and hope it works". |

As far as I can tell, the new openrc network API has (and has only been |
| 19 |
tested with) one extremely simple paradigm in mind: DHCP or statically |
| 20 |
configured hosts on a flat, autoconfigured ethernet VLAN with only one |
| 21 |
off-subnet route. That is a huge step backward. |
