This cannot be done in a sane manner though as it would render future versions entirely backwards incompatible. Renaming `config interface` to `config network` makes sense and can be implemented easily. However we would still need to treat `config interface` as synonym for it in the forseeable future in order to retain compatibility, which means that we cannot reuse `interface` for something else. So changing `config interface` to `config network` would be possible assuming that `config device` remains `config device` (or is renamed to something other than `interface`). At the same time, the `wifi-iface` section type in /e/c/network should be changed to `wifi-network` in order to remain consistent. ~ Jo
