I've got no input on that.  Well I personally would not want
networkmanager in there, but I think that's a choice for the
template - meaning you :)

Is there a notion of 'fedora server'?  I assume redhat server
is to desktop as ubuntu server is to ubuntu desktop - avoids
network manager.  I can't imagine that ever changing in ubuntu.
