thompsa> brconfig

thompsa>  - would require new rc.d script and rc.conf keywords
 
thompsa> ifconfig (patched for if_bridge)
thompsa>  + one tool to rule them all
thompsa>  + seamless with rc.conf, ifconfig_bridge0="..."
thompsa>  - diverges from the other BSDs

As for gif(4), once gifconfig(8) was introduced, then the feature was
merged into ifconfig(8) and gifconfig(8) was removed.
