> Do the same for other changes like NetworkManager (especially on laptops) and you will come to the same conclusion.

Just for the record, the migration to NetworkManager has been extremely smooth for a number of reasons:
- NetworkManager replaced very little of an "API". I mean, there was not much legacy to support; there were not that many 3rd-party applications messing with sysconfig-network (or equivalent). Most applications just want network connectivity period.
- NetworkManager made an incomplete but significant effort to support previous configuration files.
- At all times and still today, it was/is possible not to use NetworkManager and revert to the previous tools.
- It is even possible to make this choice on a per-interface basis.
