== Summary ==
Do not not include NetworkManager support for legacy network
configuration files by in new installations.
……
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Split the ifcfg plugin into a subpackage package.
Make sure the ifcfg plugin stays on upgrades. Provide a migration
tool.
...
== Documentation ==
We'll need to write the documentation for the migration tool.
Perhaps also something the sysadmins wondering why their ifcfg files
don't work anymore could find and refer to.
A big ++ for that. It is overdue.
However, as members of the Server WG, I wonder how many administration tools, scripts and
Ansible playbooks will need to be rewritten. We would need to have a test case as soon as
possible and communicate that very actively in the sysadmin community. Otherwise, the
surprise could be quite big.
The migration tool comes a bit short in the proposal. I consider it an indispensable
prerequisite for this change. From my own unfortunate experience - I have had to make this
change manually on our servers without a migration tool and without dedicated
documentation - how tedious and time-consuming such an action is. And while I can't
help with a migration tool, I can offer help for documentation, just in case there's a
shortage of hands.
And may be, we should be prepared to postpone the change to F37 but provide the migration
tool and doc with F36.
