No, it's just that, for the purpose of an internet forum comment, I don't wish to revisit years of regular and maddening problems across fleets of thousands of servers. Over the years they may be subject to different initial build and deployment regimes, to say nothing of different OS versions that may have been released over that time, and various Puppet manifests that may have been changed over that time.
When something is regularly found to be the problem, and has never made my life any easier, it gets yanked. Sometimes I may have had time to analyze further, other times it may have been an emergency. Regardless, it's been at least 1.5 years since I worked in that environment, and my memory has faded. In the real world, we don't have infinite time to analyze infinite failures.
Here's what I remember:
NetworkManager = problems.
No NetworkManager = no problems.
You may care to look down on people who don't always have the time to analyze every single occurrence of every single problem to the nth degree, and subsequently catalogue the exact cause and fix for reference when posting on forums in the future, and that's fine.
My opinion is, it sucks, and I don't want it.
If you like it, and enjoy its benefits, please do. I'm not denigrating you for your choice.
