Today I discover new initscripts-8.26-1 breaks old network alias

In previouse version was powinble name alias interface like eth0:foobar
In current iniscritps in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases is:
if [[ ! "$DEVNUM" =~ '^[0123456789]*$' ]]; then
echo $"error in $FILE: invalid alias number" >&2
return 1

Yeah, looks pretty sketchy. I think this is more correct for the bug
it's trying to solve, but I'll let notting say for sure:
