I agree that we must still battle-test it more extensively. We also
have to decide whether the changes made by setnet have to be
permanent. At this stage they are not, since it was devised as a
stateless network config tool for minimal-live. However, it would be
definitely possible to let it dump the current network configuration
somewhere (/etc/network/interfaces?).
