"must" is an interesting verb. :)

I wouldn't be surprised if the ifcfg scripts are deep-sixed by the
time we reach the Fedora release that'll be the base of RHEL 8.

If there are ifcfg settings that network understands but
NetworkManager doesn't, file a bug report or get ready to use a
keyfile under "/etc/NetworkManager/system-settings/" (check "man
nm-settings" for keyfile settings). The transition away from network
will be less of a challenge and less of a headache than the
transitions to systemd and Gnome 3, to name two.
