I (and other people) find solutions of everyday tasks with /etc/net. I don't want to make others think the way I do, but I need a way to give people choice freedom within FC. This freedom is demanded.
Generally... network-scripts will eventually go away - things will be moved to a framework involving NetworkManager. Hence, I don't believe pulling in an entirely different framework in the interim is really worth it.
Moreover, some of the things you mention above are either:
a) supported in the scripts already (ifrename) b) supported via NetworkManager (ifplugd, configuration profiles) c) not really as important in a long term view (ifrename, again :) )
