Whenever there is a changed default that had no reason to change
it is, in fact, broken. NetworkManager wasn't (and as far as I know
still isn't) a replacement for network. Calling it one didn't make it
one. Disabling network and making NetworkManager the default didn't
make it one either. It just broke things.

The fact that the functions barely overlapped, and the fact that it
would have been absolutely trivial to allow them to coexist if even
a small particle of brain had been applied makes it even more broken.
