Like the title says, why the change in /etc/netstart as of 4-1-97?  I can
understand wanting to change the way various daemons are started, but why
change the interface config files from hostname.* to ifconfig.*?  That name
convention was one of the few things that survived from SunOS to Solaris,
and now we are deliberately making ourselves different?  Why?

I have no problem with the change in the content of the files.  Just
copying the entire line to the ifconfig command is fine.  /etc/netstart
should not limit what options are available at boot time after all.
