system environment.
Then stop shipping the duct tape and bailing wire. If things outside of NM aren't
going to work right or are going to break other stuff, get rid of them. The only reason
not to is "what if NM is broken," which is a moot point since offering a broken
interface to use as a backup in case another interface is broken makes no sense. Stick
with the one we're interested in supporting and deal with that set of bugs.
