Patch looks good; lets push it into master, NM_0_8_1, and NETWORKMANAGER_0_7 branches. And something else I found today, the Fedora network scripts add a 169.254 route by default for IPv4 connections even if they aren't LL-only. Not sure why or if that's something we want to or why it was added to the Fedora initscripts in the first place, but might be worth finding out.
