My case is that the new fashion has been that way for years as deemed by the Upstream Provider. If the end user that being us admins, can't keep up with the vendors way of doing this then we should be sysadmins. vconfig isn't used any more. It hasn't been used in years. It was provided as a dependancy previously and as mentioned that dependency was removed. The fact that the original poster has not updated his scripts to keep up to date with the Upstream Provider's methods of doing this is the original poster's fault not that of CentOS team. Can it be added, sure! Does it need to be added when the user can and *should* upgrade their scripts, IMHO, no.
