This will change the behavior of when using GOSC in that the VM will boot with the NICs already connected, instead of that not happening until customization is complete. IDK if that's a necessarily a breaking change though.

Agree with Byran, please do not re-connect NICs before customization finishes in guest. When customizing network, connected NICs will create conflicts. If GOSC happens, GOSC will handle NICs re-connection.

Hmmm. This is problematic. Ideally VM Operator should try to ensure the NICs are in the connected state. We should figure out how to do this even if GOSC is running or has run. Likely I'll do it by first checking the current status of a possible customization.
