I object.  Supporting values other than AUTO adds unnecessary
complexity (not a lot, but some) and IMO leads to difficulty diagnosing
proper system behavior.  I'd much rather just delete network_interfaces
entirely.

I've never seen a valid use case, just failures to understand the
current system.

Please provide this script to support your argument.
