Turns out there's also HOTPLUG=yes/no, which is (or was?) also used to control whether the interface was started from udev hotplug scripts (60-net.rules). NM currently treats ONBOOT as "autoconnect", IIRC because there's no good reason I can think of that boot-time is different from any other time for automatically connecting a network interface. If the interface is running at boot time, presumably you want it to stay up unless you manually stop it, which obviously the old initscripts couldn't do.
