Well, here's a heretical thought: why don't we do that anyway, at least for new
installations?
Frankly the default is a completely uninteresting issue. The major
concern IMO is that the zeal to have Yet Another New Thing doesn't break
all of the existing systems that are running perfectly well with
ifupdown and which clearly don't need a new thing. As long as that's the
case, make the default whatever is easiest to support and call it a day.
