Moving to ifupdown-ng is the strategy that was agreed upon among the people doing the work. Please refer back to https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/07/msg00098.html#:~:text=ifupdown-ng for (some) reasoning and the DC25 Networking BoF for some more discussion https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2025/DebConf25/debconf25-124-networking-bof.vp8.webm. > > > remains a highly desirable goal. > > > > I don't see the pressing need, can you explain the motivation?

What I don't see is why replacing bridge-utils (brctl) should be of such priority that we need to do it *right now* in ifupdown rather than just wait until it's replaced by -ng? --Daniel
