You mean - that's what I saw at least - passing a "handler" to the 
network module + interfaces as arguments so the network module is 
somewhat a generic hook ?

Is this order of preference expressed in a config somewhere ?

And in the case of dracut with legacy module, one switched to the new 
root, NM would I guess still consider the connection as externally 
managed (assuming no one manipulate it with NM afterwards), correct ?
