Perhaps there should be a default /sbin/ifup-local script that 
dispatches to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-local/<interface>?  
It could contain useful comments, including that it is by default 
replaceable as its target directory is empty by default.

It's not hopeless, after all (unless NM is running).
