I cannot think of a fitting example, but I'd like to point at Debian's
/etc/network/interfaces that has an even wider variety of hooks:

pre-up
up
post-up

pre-down
down
post-down

And all of them are useful in one or another way :-)

The post script can be generic for all types of network configuration, while
script.create is highly dependent on the type of network setup.

PS: No need to CC every message to me, that way, mutt does not recognize
the mailing list and makes responding awkward :-)
