Well, kind of, I mean, on some of the bugs, at least on #868220, we've have talked about this. And given that upstream has been inactive for years... we have talked about getting the bridge setup scripts on ifupdown and leave bridge-utils with just the brctl tool. I'm crossposting and adding Guus to the mail to see if we can agree on something here, I don't think it is now the time to do it, it would be for post Bullseye, but I don't have any problem in rewriting the scripts to use just iproute2 and maintain those scripts under ifupdown so that Guus didn't have to take care of more stuff. Guus, what do you think? Regards. -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net
