           Summary: anaconda NM section is overly verbose, and just plain

Provide details here.  Do not change the blocking bug.

It currently says:

  Changes in Anaconda

    * NetConfig in NM -- Anaconda is now using NetworkManager for configuring
network interfaces during installation. The previous backend tool was libdhcp,
which was a replacement for libpump. Anaconda uses NetworkManager by
communicating with it via D-Bus during installation. The move to NetworkManager
in Anaconda is still ongoing, but the bulk of existing functionality has been
retained. NetworkManager is enabled by default on newly installed systems, so
moving to NetworkManager in Anaconda allows the installer to use the same
network management tool that the final system uses. The move to NetworkManager
brings some changes, most notably the removal of the network interface
configuration screen in Anaconda. You are no longer asked to verify the network
settings during installation. The screen now simply prompts for the hostname.
The settings used during installation are written to the system. 

I'd rewrite it as:

Changes in Anaconda

 * NetworkManager for Networking -- Anaconda is now using NetworkManager for
configuration of network interfaces during installation. The main network
interface configuration screen in Anaconda has been removed; users will only be
prompted for network configuration details if they are necessary during
installation. The settings used during installation are then written to the
system.
