If it's useful for you, that's great. If you do not find it useful,
that's also fine, and it can be masked. However, we have put great
effort into NM so that even if it *is* enabled, it can coexist
peacefully with whatever you do on the system outside of NM, and we are
constantly improving this.
We hope that NM can be installed on most systems, and will be there when
required and useful, but will get out of the way when not required.
What's the story for NM in router configurations?
The last time I brought up handling DHCPv6-PD (a strong non-laptop use
case for NM if I ever saw one), I was told that router configurations
were out of scope for NM (at least, at that point in time).
Has that changed? (Or maybe I'm misremembering some nuance...)
