I.e., just to make sure I understand correctly, in order to get what I
want I should just create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
and let NM manage my alias that way?  Do I need to do anything special
to get NM to notice it, or it will do so automagically on the next
restart/reboot?

There are some alias examples here, FWIW:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/tests/network-scripts

And all that's really required is "nmcli con reload", you shouldn't ever
need to restart NetworkManager to get config changes taken into account.

I added this config file but it's not bringing up eth0:0.

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
DEVICE=eth0:0
IPADDR=192.168.x.y   (yes, x.y are numbers)
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=no
#

What am I missing?  Do I need the base ifcfg-eth0 file, too?  (That file
was not created by anaconda).  Or do I need some additional fields because
there is no ifcfg-eth0?  Or do I need to tell NM to bring it up?
