I've mentioned on this list countless times about how NetworkManager
is actually pretty good for a general server. Automatic link
detection and activation/deactivation, a dispatch service on link
activation/deactivation, support for bringing up secondary interfaces
after a primary goes up, a dbus interface for automation, etc.

Actually, I'm sad that RHEL/CentOS 8 doesn't support
systemd-networkd. It's really nice, especially for really pared down
systems that don't need a lot of extra services like NetworkManager.
But I understand that Red Hat needs to focus its support efforts.
