There's no specific need now; my thinking was that it's conceivable
that there could be a need in the future (when nwam can do more
elaborate link-related configuration), so we might as well do all
the updates at once.  But I'm not adamant about that, if others
think we should hold off, that's fine.

Good catch.

Given that net-nwam might run before the file system is writable, I'm
not sure that solution/workaround works.  Though I suppose on the first
reboot after update, the phase 1 net-nwam doesn't run until after
manifest-import, which might be enough of a delay; on the other hand,
they're working on making manifest-import happen really early, aren't
they?  Not sure how close that is.

In any case, this might be acceptable as a workaround for now, but I
don't think we should include this in the final push.  Other opinions?
