+I don't know as I've not looked super closely, but I think the keeping
+of them in /etc/sysconfig/ folders is likely related to the add-on
+scripts in NM, rather than anything specific.
+
+I would obviously prefer if the details were kept in a keyring of some
+sort, but again I've not looked too closely.
