Thanks for pointing that out.  I did see that statement, but it seems to
conflict with other information in other docs, and even within that same
doc, in the "Service order" section.  Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding,
but here are some examples:
For Ethernet the plugging of a cable makes it a favorite.
...
Ethernet is special here since the unplugging of the network cable
will remove the favorite selection.
...
and other similar statements.

Personally, it doesn't matter to me if it's in the service list, or in some
other list.  All I really want to do is find which interfaces connman is
controlling (connected or disconnected), and configure them whether or not
I have the cable plugged in.  It seems to me that there should be a way to
do this, but I can't find a way currently.
