Sorry to hear that happened. Cockpit depends on Network manager to provide it's network functionality. Network manager is pretty standard part of many linux distros. Having the cockpit-networking package depend on it is not a mistake, it needs to be there to ensure that cockpit has what it needs to run.
I'm not sure how removing cockpit would bork a server though. I've been able to install and uninstall cockpit-networking on lots of systems without issues. Do you have any more details you can provide us? What Version/OS was this on? which commands did you run? A way for us to reproduce the errors you had would be helpful.

Hi,______________________________
so recently I managed to destroy[1] two production servers by removing what I saw as useless web-config utility. Apparently Cockpit depends on NetworkManager, which nobody would expect and is easily overlooked.
PLEASE FIX
