I think you will find that servers will have more complicated
requirements in the future. Things like dynamic interface/routing
failover, 802.1x authentication, and vrrp/hsrp.
Personally I would be very happy if NetworkManager integrated with
Quagga.
I think you'll find the above is not the common webserver/fileserver in a
corner, either.
