I fear the day when we'll have to use NetworkManager, based on
responses that I got to my complain:
   https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-July/msg00413.html

Again, the classical "you are not our use case". Not "sorry, we screwed up",
not "we hope to fix it in the future".

I mean, NetworkManager was going an idiotic thing: overwriting my manually
created file without doing at least a backup. Not to mention use the stuff
I've put in there, or try to restore it when it's done.

And the answer from people that should know better is: "we don't care, you
are not our user".

Surely you don't think this gives folks the warm and fuzzies.
