What things need to be easier about the cli bits that the network scripts get right? No doubt there are some, but would you mind filing them as enhancement requests or bugs so we have some goals to hit? In the end, ifup/ifdown should also still work for connections NM controls, since ifup/ifdown just call NM for those connections in F13+. ifup just says "activate this interface with this configuration" which is the same thing NM does too, so that mapping is pretty 1:1.
