An example which I think highlights what Jon's trying to say: When I build a new KVM host via kickstart I run a very simple little script in a %post section to preconfigure a number of VLANs for me along with a bridge for each VLAN which the KVM guests can then connect to. With the old school networking scripts I can simply do this with a for loop and cat (none of the interfaces need IPs) and there's nothing there for me to forget to do or typo while doing, it's just done. With NetworkManager I'm not sure there's an easy way to do this automatically. I'm a SysAdmin I don't want to do the dull repetitive bits if I can help it, I only want to do the bits that are unique and GUIs do not lend themselves to automation.
