Isn't that just the logical consequence of the usual freedesktop.org "There can be only one" philosophy we see a lot nowadays?
Why? NM on Fedora works fine running at the same time as the old network scripts stuff. If there is an old config, NM ignores the device/ I think that's much better than what we do.
And it allows us to have proper D-Bus activation of NM, to be able to ignore dependencies, and NM service files to manage if NM is used.
NetworkManager has a ton of dependencies that some people might not want, do we really need to force install them to run a basicly idle process? My debian server is fine with a static connection and fits on a small sd card, I guess it can't hurt to support that usecase in opensuse.
