because aliases are not really required, it's something
which was used five or more years ago, but you can
add/maintain IPs without them quite fine ...
(just forget about ifconfig, which is probably ten years
old and does not know anything about the current kernel
interfaces for ip/routes/etc)

hmm .. you mean, why it does not 'fail' when you try
to create an IP which already exists?
I'd say that's something Enrico will add sooner or
later (at least I hope so), maybe file a bug report
or feature request?

for what purpose? we had that with legacy for some
time, and the limited interface name length (15 char)
gave very funny results with guests called
'mybrandnewguest01', 'mybrandnewguest02' and you
have to handle multiple IPs too ... so iproute2 is
the way to go, if you want an alias, give it a proper
name, for the guest to work, it's not really required

so you are telling me, that with an entry like this:
inet 192.168.0.27/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global secondary eth0
(note the missing :vs27 alias, which would be the default
without specifying the 'name')
does not work on your system, while the above (with alias) does?
best,
