Phil, I can't have us thinking this way yet... everyone takes a meandering
path to OpenStack and may not have all the (pick your distro) networking
knowledge we'd like. We have to be advocates for our users no matter where
they started their journey. I won't ever be persuaded by this line of
thinking.

That said, Matt's arguments are sound for maintenance purposes. We heavily
rely on MySQL documentation for all but the very basics. Can we draw a
similar line here and refer to the distro's documentation for networking?
