Yes Denis and I discussed this and came to the same conclusion. Better
to have a quick and easy Start() API and probably add a sparate API for
starting with a config file.
But if Network Manager is actually using this API we should probably
remove the "experimental" label from the docs. I wasn't aware of this
which is why I thought it was fine modifying it.
Thanks,
James
