Latest version of ifconfig is dated 2001.  The "ip" command was
added to Linux with kernel version 2.2.  I had the same surprise
as you about a decade ago.

Thanks.  The proper change when something this well used and deprecated is:
User> ifconfig
STATUS: "ifconfig" deprecated.  Use "ip"
User>

In other words there should be a program called ifconfig that tells a user that 
they must now use the program ip.  So trivial and would cause far less lost man 
hours.
