There's nothing that prevent you to configure the same IPv4 address on

It might be needful when reconfiguring networks; if I swap two
interfaces' IP addresses in /etc/hostname.* and re-run /etc/netstart
instead of rebooting, I suspect this might break - I believe there would
be a very brief overlap where two interfaces had the same IP address.
Come to think of it, I'm not even sure whether this even works or not
as-is; any opinions on what would be the canonical approach to swapping
IPs between interfaces on a live system? Just do it by hand? Write
your own script? Use netstart? Or just reboot?
