I vote for ifconfig to be obsoleted by iproute. My next KSI Linux distribution won't use ifconfig at all. I have not made a decision yet whether to retain the ifconfig binary for compatibility reasons or remove any trace of it outta the distribution, but chances are that it will be removed at all...
