I believe /var/run is a more suitable place for this.

There might be situations where manual modification of an existing
interface was done leaving ip addr flush still a needed option even with
a state file. I imagine this as generally a corner case, but I'm putting
it out there in case it is considered a legitimate concern. I saw you
mention ppp <snipped> and pppoe is still a valid use for it. I'm not
sure how involved the scripts should get. Is grepping for a running dhcp
client on that interface too far?

Why MIT? These aren't book instructions.

Disabled by default sound like a good compromise.
