What's wrong if > ifconfig? >=20 arlconfig(8) looks functionally identical to wicontrol(8), not to ifconfig(= 8). As such, it's probably best to rename it to arlconfig(8). I agree it doesn= 't make sense to duplicate options already provided by ifconfig(8), but it loo= ks there are some options (and in wicontrol(8) too) that aren't supported by ifconfig(8), these should be kept. (While wicontrol(8) has a history, this tool doesn't, so no point for duplicating ifconfig(8) functionality.)
