Thank god for the Linux people innovating and replacing a perfectly functional tool that could be properly extended to add support for that configuration, and instead requiring people to learn yet another command. It's about as bad as Solaris with their ifconfig/ipadm stuff and changing everything around so that configuration exists in multiple places and one tool doesn't handle the other. ipadm doesn't properly deal with /etc/<hostname>.<interface> files and the two will conflict. Ugh.
