statically enabled is bad in general, containers are not a good reason to enable something for everybody, many if not most people never will use containers for several reasons and if it because they use full-virtualization and move machines between different also non-linux hosts where i would support something new enabled by default is if could *replace* something else like LSB network.service while use it's ifcfg-configurations for backward compatibility and test out if it really can replace all cases if i can replace that below i start to be one of the first production users in a complexer setup (one is the MAC of the physical card, the other is what it becames before fetch the IP from the ISP because you need to register your MAC there, that's the same like MAC cloning in small soho-routers) DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=68:05:ca:0d:62:c1 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp IPV6INIT=no NM_CONTROLLED=no USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no MACADDR=00:50:8d:b5:cc:de but something hanging around unconfigured please no
