They finally killed network scripts

Somewhere around Fedora 40, they removed the possibility to disable the monstrosity of Network Manager and to revert to network scripts. ifcfg-eth0 no longer works.

We used to be able to revert to sane network configurations, and they removed that workaround. Further versions of Fedora are as dead from my perspective as Solaris 11.4 and up. Why are they doing that to us? Why are we silent?

I have a conspiracy theory: the combination of systemd and Network Manager afforded true owners of Linux repos an opportunity to create a backdoor, by allowing them to re-configure the network however the fuck they want, at any moment. Network scripts stood to remove such opportunity. How's that for a hypothesis?
