I took a look at some of the existing code linked to above, and while it's a good start to the interface itself the implementation seems to still exec plugins....

Here's what I'm envisioning: Use existing behavior as the default: assume a single interface and use the IP/FQDN passed on **_skube node bootstrap/join_** as both the "management" IP and the...
