NM also doesn't write out ifcfg files, which s-c-n is still pretty good
at.  I hope to land that functionality for F11, but I think s-c-n still
has one release left in it, at least.  Doesn't hurt to keep both around,
as long as the cooperate with each other (something I'll be working on
too).  Maybe just don't install it by default when NM is installed by
default, but keep it available.
