If you will read comments on bug mentioned above, you will see that NM static interface configuration is purely SUSE/Redhat thing, as they use service system to control services/settings. It's totally ignores other distro configurations (Debian, Gentoo, etc.). So it is just not the "standard way of doing things" (tm). G-s-t, however, has system backends for each sytem.
NM should keep their stuff integrated with network-admin, not compete, because we need one blessed tool of configuring network.
