* chrony: I'm using ntpd and ntpdate

* firewalld: https://github.com/kikinovak/firewall

* iperf: replaced by iperf3

* NetworkManager: great on laptops, useless on servers

You're right. The main reason I did this is because some of my servers
are behind filtering proxies, and more often than not, CentOS mirrors
are blocked.

I have to think about a practical solution for this.
