My bad here, seems I was looking at an old man page... :(

I would see the separation of daemon's configuration from interface's
configuration something that would be nice anyway. Since probably most
people only need to deal with interfaces configuration, this would hide
the "under the hood" settings from most and would make cleaner config
files.
But yes, with a quite complex network configuration with multiple
interfaces to manage, which is my situation, it certainly would help
simplify the management (exposing & modifying) of the network
interfaces settings.

Thanks,
