I had not seen that mode (or a request for it).  That would be nice.  In
a perfect world (hah!), replacing "ifup" and "ifdown" with scripts that
just make the appropriate "nmcli" (or whatever) calls would be awesome,
as long as NM supports all the old functionality.

That would be cool; I understand reducing methods reduces support
overhead.  Please don't take my email as throwing stones; I was trying
to _not_ do that, just point out why in some situations sysadmins
sometimes avoid NM.

I understand that the old-style network scripts are a maze of twisty
little passages, all different, and trying to replace all the
functionality that people use is not trivial.
