Why Did You Do This?!
Do we really need yet another network management thing?

We've got Network Manager, which is also doing it's job
nicely and won't
give you any headaches if you prevent it from stepping on anybody else's
toes. Or try to make it manage a thousand devices, like on System z.
*** Network Manager is just another daemon created for a task
which historically often did not need any daemons. It's almost as if
the new generation of Unix hackers wants to redo everything -
in x10 or x100 times bloated and more complex way than it was done
before. Yes, guys, old stuff has problems and limitations. But
switching into high gear and writing a ton of stuff is not a solution
I like. Can you *think it through* and fix/improve stuff WITHOUT
increasing its complexity tenfold as a minimum? Yes, I do realize
that elegant solution is harder to do than coding spree solution,
but I still hope...
It all happened before, and it will happen again:
