[gentoo-dev] Ethernet initialization scripts

[Mix Sella]

Hi,

I have already mailed the maintainer of /etc/init.d/net.eth* with this 
question but I thought that it would be also interesting to ask it here, so 
here it goes:

Is it viable to add "local" interface start/stop scripts, akin to 
/etc/init.d/local.*? I would propose to create /etc/conf.d/net/, move 
/etc/conf.d/net file into it, and put eth0.{start|stop} files there. The 
reason *I* want that is that we have Gentoo servers which often have 3-5 
network interfaces.

This is a trivial task, so here comes the question:

1) Is this really a proper way to do it (subdirectory in /etc/conf.d)?
2) Does it comply with Gentoo standards and ideology?
3) Does anyone else want it (e.g. should it be committed?)
