It is at least important to be able to add multiple addresses to one (physical) interface. I personally don't like the old eth0:0 eth0:1 (...), but prefer the new iproute2 style, but I guess I can live with aliases as long as it is easy to add/remove them.
Aliases (eth0:0) need to die. Of course, I've been saying that for years and haven't killed them yet. :/
