We'd really like to stop shipping the older network scripts, but there
aren't any concrete related plans. See
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081999>.


In the cloud SIG, we talked about making a generator for systemd which
would take ifcfg-* style configuration scripts and make networkd
configuration on the fly, but explicitly only covering a subset of
options. But given all of the things to do, this hasn't risen in
priority. <https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/14>

Another approach might be to use the NetworkManager "run
once" mode <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=863515>,
especially if that can be extended to both static and dhcp addresses
(with nothing else fancy).
