Comment:
Moving to future. The current bridge service works fine and this change
is quite a bit more intrusive than it first appears. Removing brctl from,
the script means that the script needs to be moved from bridge-utils to
somewhere else. The most logical place would be LFS instead of BLFS.
The only place a bridge is used in BLFS is for qemu network scripts.
Removing bridge-utils would require updating those scripts that also work
well. Note also that the bridge-utils package is a trivial build (about 2
seconds).
At this time, the change is more effort than it is worth.
