Perhaps it would be best to just retire that 2.0 alias compatibility
cruft now. Everybody should be using ifconfig or iproute2 by now
that can add or remove addresses directly without the compatibility
syntax.
They never worked fully in corner cases anyways, e.g. SIOCSIFNAME with
these aliases was always a problem.
