I'm not sure what is the coincidence, but a new "ifupdown-devel"
mailinglist appeared right in August.

If you or someone else has time, would be good to briefly articulate
our concerns and ask if its possible to:

refrain from deprecating use of /etc/default/networking
as this will affect an enormous amount of server installations.

conversation quickly become confrontational and bullish then just
leave, we'll fork that package.

Actually I'm already looking at possible forking strategies.
