Comment 23 for bug 1301015

man service suggests that "All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. "

indeed this is a change of behavior that is quit crucial, even if "officially" service restart networking was never a "supported" way of doing it, it seems to be an intuitive way of doing so; simply because the script is there ! so intuitive that it is all over ubuntu documentations, really, a message that is more helpful is needed. otherwise, the mere existance of that script in the past should be considered a bug, and continues to be so ... i guess ....
