And it would just kill someone to add a patch into anaconda to test for
the existence of NetworkManager and fire off "chkconfig network on"
chrooted in the new install if NM isn't present.

A patch to fix the problem is going to be a lot simpler than even
documenting the broken behavior properly in the release notes, or is
that also going to be left undone because anyone doing a minimal install
should know how to fix it?
