Re: 7.0 - ifconfig create is not working as expected?

Why? The same with creating gif-tunnel, now I need to invoke ifconfig
twice, once for 'create' and once for other tunnel parameters,
whereas for RELENG_6 this works: 'ifconfig gif0 create tunnel 1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2'
This breaks existing setups/scripts. This is POLA issue.
Why was it broken?

I don't know why or how this has happened, however, given the complexity
of the command line grammar which ifconfig is expected to parse, our
choices are limited, unless someone(tm) is willing to come along and
implement a full parser in ifconfig.

It worked. Now it does not work. Someone(tm) made the change.
We have the CVS. Isn't there such thing as responsibility for changes?
A dichotomy will show us who did the change :-)
