Subject: Providing service factory defaults

Hi,
I work for a company that makes a "router"-like product with 2 ethernet
interfaces (WAN+LAN). When the product is shipped to customer, it is setup
with dhcp on WAN (eth0) and static IP on LAN (eth1).
The customer is free to reconfigure the network settings, the above is
just the factory default.
Today we use /etc/network/interfaces+ifup/ifdown to achieve this. It works
fine, but it's a hassle for the customer because they don't like editing
cryptic textfiles. We would like to migrate to connman and offer the
customer the ability to configure the device through a webinterface that
apply network changes through the connman DBUS API.
We've been able to get connman running and we can configure it through its
API, it's great. The issue we're facing now is how to setup factory
defaults. We've tried to provision services with configs, but as
provisioned services are immutable it does not fit our use-case.
One could write updates to the service config files since connman monitors
and reloads these, but then we might aswell continue using
/etc/network/interfaces since the whole point of migrating to connman was
to configure through the DBUS API.
Is there a way to provide a "factory default" for each Ethernet-interface,
without making the services immutable?
