Is it necessary for the distribution's *default* network-management solution to
handle all of these? If it could be easily substituted for another solution
that was better suited to tasks which a majority of users will not use, then
surely that is fine.
(although I'd like to get NM and bridging working more nicely personally, I
consider this more of a feature bug than an RC one)

IMHO this is a reasonable requirement, yes.
