Both could be great.

I was not clear here, when giving the device to someone else we need a way
to be sure networks are deleted,
Or often they give the device without removing all the networks.

Of course it's only possible with the root account (which is not disabled
on device of my company).

I saw a lot of passphrases since the begining :)

Yes but If we can avoid that, it could be nice, my devices have no screen,
every thing concerning configuration is complicated.
(Plug ethernet, go on the configuration web page with another computer,
un-favorite the network and connect to the new one)

Yes I know, it's why I haven't do anything at the moment.
