I noticed that in ipv4_down and ipv6_down first the aliases are taken
down from the interface with the ifalias and ipv4_addrs_common function.

Afterwards every single ip address is deleted in the loop calling

  ifconfig ${_if} ${_inet} delete

Actually the order first was reversed: every address was taken down in
the loop and only then did the code try to remove the addresses it
configured with the _alias functions.

Why first remove them chirurgical before killing the whole patient?
Did I miss anything?
