I think most "traditional" system admins see a running NM daemon as an additional point of failure in a static network. If my server's network setup is static, I don't want a daemon running attempting to "manage" it. If it has a bug, gets misconfigured, etc., it might do something to screw up an otherwise working setup. I understand that some servers/setups may be able to take advantage of NM functionality, but assuming that all servers _need_ NM is too much. This is all IMHO of course. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
