BTW, when using NetworkManager for desktops, do we really need network-
scripts and sysconfig/networking at all?
It feels to me like many problems I've had with networking have come
down to the fact that the configuration is in multiple places:
modprobe.conf, hwconf, network-scripts, sysconfig/networking;
it doesn't seem that well-defined how it all works... maybe I'm just
dense though.
One policy we might try to get closer to: clearly split autogenerated
information from manually-edited information, and machine-readable
information from human-only information such as scripts.
