+<h1>Migrating from cnetworkmanager to nmcli</h1>
+
+This is not meant to be a two-way comparison. I intend cnetworkmanager to
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Parrot_sketch">rest</a> and
+<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerCmdline"
+>nmcli</a> to take its place.
