It's been in stable for two months with only a few of people asking
about it and non of them asking to have it removed or changed that I

was fixed. The lack of serious complaints seemed bare that out.

How would this do (as the second paragraph in gif(8)):
gif interfaces are allocated at runtime using interface cloning. This is
most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command.
