You say that, but NetworkManager's default setting used to be to
monitor the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and restart the
network interfaces when you changed the ifcfg-* files. Thankfully,
now you need to set 'monitor-connection-files=true' in the
NetworkManager.conf to get that 'feature'.
Many times I'd change an IP in the file with vi, save out of muscle
memory before I realize what I've done.
