The idea is that everybody should run NM. :-)
For the longest time, NM only worked predictably for logged-in
users,
which made "network" service a requirement for servers with static IPs
and such.
That has been fixed for several Fedora releases now. NM now supports
systemwide settings and brings interfaces with a systemwide configuration up
at boot time (as opposed to login time).
