It seems to be recommended in general--NM is not designed to work smoothly 
with the network service.  If none of your interfaces are brought up at 
boot time, then it probably is not an issue.

Note that NM really isn't designed for machines whose network 
configuration is static.  On the other hand, AIUI, an upcoming feature of 
NM will allow it to control interfaces at boot time.
