I think we should try to keep them. |

That's exactly what I meant. |
| 44 |
By choosing the module one would get tied to its syntax. That should |
| 45 |
make it simpler to parse the data. I would also suggest making the |
| 46 |
declaration of modules mandatory or for you to pick a default tool to be |
| 47 |
used when someone doesn't declare modules. |
| 48 |
I prefer iproute2 syntax, but I suspect most people would prefer |
| 49 |
ifconfig. As long as I have an option to use iproute2, I don't have a |
| 50 |
problem :) |
