FWIW, I'm running an upstream EL box as a server (remote desktops as well as web, database, and file). Since it serves remote desktops, GNOME is installed, and thus NetworkManager. I haven't had any NM-related breakage; this is upstream EL6.1 fully updated, and running for several months as a server with multiple ethernets and some other tunneled connections.
