Basically, you are advocating a rewrite of /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. You may start with a detailed explanation as to why the setup, that Redhat has provided, is not up to task.
While you're at it, some thoughts on why this sort of change is worthwhile in a NetworkManager world would be good, too.
(And don't say "because NM doesn't handle the server case", etc, because obviously it'll eventually have to handle many of those cases, so we don't wind up with two conflicting systems for network setup on one machine. We should all try to skip over the rather rhetorical "NM doesn't have $FOO feature yet" lines of thought ;)
