Fair enough; but.. that's a difference in how one configures the 
hostname, not a difference in how networking is managed in general -- 
especially in the context of the original question/rant about how one 
goes about configuring a static IP address on an RHEL7 system.

You still don't need to do so with RHEL7 either, but NetworkManager 
has been the default since RHEL4.

BTW, Fedora/RHEL's "classic" network setup scripts still 
parse HOSTNAME out of /etc/sysconfig/network if it's not yet 
configured.
