Personally, I'd rather not allow users the option to create a classic
set of ifcfg-* files if we are doing NM by default. As long as it's
an option, people will still use it, which means we'll still have to
support multiple ways of configuring network devices on the target
system. If we're going NM for everything, it should be NM for
everything.
Generating ifcfg-* files is still sane with NetworkManager, though.
It
uses them for the system-settings backend
Right, but don't we need to write NM_CONTROLLED=i_think_so|
probably_not to the ifcfg-* if the user wants "classic" config style
or not? And that would either need to be a switch somewhere (UI, boot
arg, serial port dongle, kickstart flag, special spin of Fedora, etc),
right?
