no - such generalizations are always wrong
it does not fit for every setup and it don't pretend that

proven by over 30 F19/F20 setups in a wide range from virtualized servers
with simple setups to physical hardware with multiple network cards, virtual
TAP devices acting as  routers, firewalls, WLAN accesspoints and VPN servers
with up to 5 decdicated openvpn-instances with their own keys, ports and
TAP devices it works for a lot of environments and they never will change
because that is why virtualization is used

network.service is not for hotplug
it is for static configurations

i really won't end with NM on simple virtual servers with one virtual NIC
so just don't break network.service intentionally because it does not fit
your usecases

i don't demand you to you use network.service so don#t demand others
using NM and completly rebuild complex working setups - that's not
progress, that's just making development-noise to let people feel
there was done some work the hard way and they have to chew it
