Comment 36 for bug 1072518

Restarting the networking subsystem is not a task that a user would need to complete on a regular basis. I grant you that. However, there are a few times that this is necessary and it is not acceptable to respond: a) "don't perform said task" or b) "perform it using another command X"

The problem is that we have a method to perform this task that is tried and tested for many years. If the functionality is defunct, then it needs to be removed so that all the content online can be updated so that new users are not confused. OR The functionality needs to be updated to work with the current programs.

Inaction is not an option. It's against the creed.
