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?
