Comment # 6 on bug 1207390 from Stefan Hundhammer

Summarizing what just came up in a private chat:

When we did copy the wicked configuration to the target system, that led to a
false sense of security: The information was correct - for a while.

Until a user changed the network configuration with any NetworkManager tools;
like an applet on the desktop. Then the old copied wicked configuration was
still there, but possibly no longer correct; and that's much worse than being
honest and not pretending to have any information about the network
configuration at all, like it is now.
