Some thoughts about this:
- It would be great to also get some feedback from the maintainers of
network-scripts about their intentions
- The change document should also provide some instructions how to
migrate existing connections to keyfile to help testing this, maybe
there could even be a helper script to do this

What do you think?

Thanks
