If you want to see it added in, I am sure it can be - there is plenty of disk space left still on the minimal iso. Go ahead and open a report for this and tag it 6.4-QA

As I have said before, there is no need for it:

ok, fair enough. But I've *NEVER* used the "ip add dev" command syntax. And I would hazard pretty much nobody else has either.

There are a skillion shell scripts for KVM/QEMU, Xen, embedded firewalls, etc. that use 'vconfig' because that's how it's been done for ages. Sure, we'd like everybody to go back and rewrite their scripts but I don't see that happening any time soon.
