Seems new doggies have to prove they are big doggies by peeing on the
old dogs' work. "eth0" makes sense. "p4pl" sounds like an amateur radio
call sign from Aruba. It tells you nothing about the interface you're
dealing with. 'ix operating systems are already hard enough to use well.
Is there something hairy chested manly about making it worse rather than
better?
