One example we have is qemu virtual machine hosts where setting up the
bridge in the ifcfg scripts is easier and avoiding NetworkManager messing
things up in a non-intuitive way is critical.

Also, we have 150+ machines with fixed IP addresses, always-on connections,
and no wireless. Having NetworkManager do seemingly random things is not
desirable.

FWIW we disable NetworkManager with systemctl in our potinstall kickstart
scripts and it seems to do what we want.
