Is NetworkManager already at the 100% complete feature parity that would make this possible? (Keeping in mind that "possible" and "a good idea" are still not the same...)

Yeah, as I've said elsewhere, I'd love to see a network unit generator which
takes traditional ifcfg-* files as input. I think we need ifup/ifdown
compatibility scripts, too.
Would these be prerequisites to making the change?

guests and presented to the guests as simple interfaces. Usually that's one
device with DHCP, but there may be additional interfaces with DHCP or static
interfaces.
