I don't think that'd be a good idea. The Change shows that ifcfg-rh formatted 
files will continue to be supported, so it's not required, and there are many 
people that only know the ifcfg-rh formatted configuration, such as myself. 
Additionally, there's a lot that could go wrong in yanking config files from 
one format to the other.

Maybe an alternative option would be to store as a keyfile instead of ifcfg-rh 
if modified by one of the NetworkManager dbus clients, but otherwise leave 
ifcfg-rh?
