The drive was to try and make ifenslave slimmer regarding those three
operations only in the way that any setting of the slave will be done
by the kernel module instead of the configuration application. There
is no real "brain" there anyway.
Agreed. One reason for adding all of that propogation of
settings from master to slave is so that ifenslave doesn't have to do
it. The less mystic stuff that needs to be synchronized between the
two, the better.
