Yes but surely you'd recognize a difference between a link state change
and issuing ifconfig ... down

In the latter case, I expect state to be flushed.  In the former, I expect
everything to resume when the link is restored.  Imagine having to
manually reinit your interfaces just because some joker temporary
unplugged your ethernet cable!
