Article "Clarifying the term "Interface" " Outdated?

[yantian]

HI all,
I read the article Clarifying the term "Interface" in below URL,

[OpenWrt Wiki] Clarifying the term "Interface"

It clearly says:

If you already know the OpenWrt syntax a bit, you can see that I have replaced interface with connector, device with controller and proto with setup to avoid “interface” and anything related.

But when I check the config in my openwrt router in Production, I did not see config connector (but config interface instead) and config controller (but config device instead).

If the article in above URL already outdated ? if yes, I would recommend to delete it to avoid confusion.

The article uses substitutes - "interface" is ip address(-es), "device" is ethernet port

device = eth0
interface(s) = eth0 eth0:1 eth0:2 aka "ip aliases" in obsolete ifconfig terminology

when I check the config in my openwrt router in Production, I did not see config connector (but config interface instead) and config controller (but config device instead).

To be clear, that's what the quote you posted from the documentation explained:

@yantian

you can see that I have replaced interface with connector

@yantian

device with controller

And explained why:

@yantian

to avoid “interface” and anything related.
