For all the above: yes.
We can certainly work on the small details, but having a main tab with 
little to no action whatsoever is kinda disappointing.
(example of 'small details' - yes, when clicking remove for a 
VM/template - it will remove all vNICs that use that network from the 
VM. A VM with more than one vNIC on the same network is not the common 
case anyway, and if you want to remove just a single vNIC, go to the 
VM). I think we can also live with Add/Remove only, and 'defer' the edit 
actions to the respectable objects (host/vm/template) edit dialog boxes 
that originates from their own main tab.
