The point is that in the BSDs, ifconfig is developed and released together with the kernel. See, for example, https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&rev

See, for example, https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=312379 https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=31237..., where the author added support for hardware packet pacing. The commit touches ifconfig, socket header files, and various parts of the kernel all in one atomic change.
- rkeene2 8y agoSo, if I'm understanding this correctly, your point is that Linux is a kernel ? Haven't we moved past this ?
- digi_owl 8y agoNothing stops anyone from offering patches to multiple projects to sync development. Hell, some of the biggest changes crossing the kernel/userspace divide have just that.
