17 We should definitely install networking by default, and not make people
18 install it as a separate emerge. If oldnet is being split into a different
19 package, perhaps newnet should be split out as well.

21 Maybe we could have a virtual/networking that defaults to oldnet and exists
22 as a hard dep of openrc.

30 oldnet is and should remain the default networking implementation on Gentoo.
31 Newnet simply drops way too much functionality to become the default.
