I've got two rooms, with a number of servers in each room behind a firewall, *required* by US law (HIPAA & PII data).

*You* don't, at least not at the moment.
But others with a different setup might. That's why we have the choice.
Choice is great, surprises not so much. And I find it surprising that NM sometimes runs, sometimes doesn't, depending on seemingly unrelated things. And I still don't understand how to control what it would do for, say, a dynamically inserted USB device. Is it possible to make it take 'address only' from DCHP in that context?
