And especially because there are at least 3 things that NetworkManager
does badly, if at all:These are:

* pair bonding
* KVM bridge configuration
* VLAN tagging

It tidn't handle them *at all* the last time I ran Fedora on a server,
although admittedly I've not tried them on Fedora 21.They're critical
for virtualization servers that handle more VLAN's than they hve
physical network ports and need high availability, and the bridge is
critical for KVM guest environments that are not behind a NAT.
