With NetworkManager, management of system-wide interfaces was quite broken, at least last time I tried (12.1 perhaps). User-manageable interfaces only start working after you log in, and that can be a problem for a few services (think shared printers, or shared whatever).
Yep, and this is a big problem for systems that don't have a user login but provide services (headless systems should always use ifup, admittedly that's not a primary install base here). I know when my wife's laptop starts freaking out, one thing that can happen is that the GUI doesn't start up completely, and since it hasn't started up, there's no network access for me to connect to to diagnose it. ifup is simple, stable, and reliable. That's enough reason to keep it as the default.
