But you need to maintain bisectability. The kernel has to be compilable
and working between all these steps. The only way to do this is to add 2
new interfaces without removing the old ones, the do all the changes in
N stpes, then remove old interfaces. When I start thinking about that,
it looks too much, so I am not sure.
