Complexity can be caused by the developers of the software, and in that case it is unwarranted. But my assumption is that NetworkManager developers are reasonably competent, and take good decisions in all the trade-offs they have to make. In their case, they need to support lots of features, and make all of them work seamlessly: multiple Ethernet, Wifi and VPN interfaces, IPv4/IPv6 configuration, modems, firewall policies, and so on. n^m different states. To get rid of this complexity, you'd need to remove options at the bottom of the stack, e.g. only allow communication via serial port at a fixed rate. |
