Comment (by jdreed):
I wonder if what we want here is clever keyring (or similar) integration,
such that you can leave your network credentials on disk in a reasonably
secure manner and bring up interfaces that require them at boot time.
This may not appease people who don't want to leave their Kerberos
password around anywhere, ever, but I think we've lost that battle, and
this would at least bring us on a par with other consumer OSes. This also
changes this ticket from an incredibly hard boostrap problem to a less
hard integration problem.
