I'd rather all my tools like system-config-network-tui still work when nm is
being used.

Sure. just if the user changes it, I hope the corresponding ifcfg files are
updated as well so other tools don't break. Current release of 
system-config-network-tui is already broken on RHEL for not supporting the
various ipv6 options the initscripts support. I'd rather not make it worse.
