It also can't do VLANs (.1q), bridges, bonds and all possible

routing, QoS, etc.
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.
