To claim "out of the box" support for KVM bridge

virt-manager has to be able to do all of this automatically. That
means that either virt-manager itself needs to know how to turn a
physical device into a bridged device, or anaconda needs to do this at
system install time. (E.g., any physical device configured with a
fixed IP address is automatically created as a bridge.)
anaconda is certainly not going to do this. Changing a device to be
bridged has some interesting consequences in a lot of networking
environments. Not to mention that anaconda is getting out of the
business of the network setup as everything should be being handled by
NetworkManager
