my personal opinion is that the 'ip route' and 'ip addr' output won't be ever significantly changed because now most tools in every distribution use them instead of net-tools.
The change in ifconfig output that Garrett mentioned is another case: that happened in upstream repo almost 9 years ago and the reson probably was to make the output of ifconfig similar to the output of ifconfig on Solaris and *BSD.
Hi Scott,

The patch is just a suggestion. It's of course on you how you implement it. /bugzilla. redhat. com/show_ bug.cgi? id=786488
