The 'ip' command behaviour outlined here is because it also conflates the IP address and the network, because it not only deletes the address but also the corresponding route.

ip does not delete routes here; the kernel does (AFAICS). You see the same behavior when doing `ip link set eth0 down`.

Ok, so the kernel needs to know the address and netmask and conflates it, not ip. Doesn't change much :)
