Huh, I didn't realize NM didn't already do this... ye olde
network-scripts did.

How does NM handle a duplicate address if there are multiple addresses
configured on the interface?  Does it continue with the non-dupe
addresses or deconfigure the whole interface?

When there are multiple addresses configured, does NM run DAD in series
or parallel?

3 seconds seems kind of high (IIRC network-scripts used 1 second).
