There are significant advantages to having a single code path for network configuration on the system -- easier support, simpler documenation, easier administration between multiple systems, easier development of new distribution features overall. But the condition you give is very important too -- that's why the "traditional" system is still there in parallel right now. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
