You make some good points. I'll answer your questions as best as I can,
but we can consider this thread closed. I will not try to put the
virtual in, but I will come back to the list soon and start another
thread.
In a nutshell, our networking is a beast, and we should try to simplify
it some how imo. I'll write out my thoughts about that when I start the
other thread.

That consists of the network and staticroute scripts which are part of
OpenRC. The network script sets up interfaces and configures static
addresses only; it will allow you to run any command at any point in the
process of doing this. What some people on Gentoo do not like about it
is it is all or nothing. You can't start/stop/depend on a single
interface.
The staticroute script is used to configure multiple static routes once
the network script has set up the static addresses.

This is a good point, so I will drop putting dhcpcd on the list.

I think udhcpc is what you get in stage 3; if dhcpcd is there, I have no
idea how it is getting there.
