So I noticed that the minimal installation of CentOS 7 comes - in contrary to minimal CentOS 6.5 - preinstalled with the NetworkManager.

I somewhat understand its usefulness, especially for wlan / desktops, and its not like it really bothers me.. That being said, it seems to me with my naive linux understanding that it kinda goes against the definition of a "minimal" installation.

Does anyone know why this decision was made / a good idea?

network manager is used by default to manage all sorts of connections now, including ethernet with DHCP.
