I don't think this causes any problems in practice, and fixing it is
annoying because we have the options of:
- Making syncconf call the old file eth0.bak, which Redhat's scripts
know to ignore, but is inconsistant with other plaforms.
- Install our own copy of /etc/init.d/network that knows to ignore
ifcfg-* files ending in .saved.
- Put the .saved file in another directory, which is also inconsistant
with other platforms.
So I think this is one we're going to let slide.
