It is fixed in Fedora 21 - bug 771673.
This problem is also seen in RHEL 7.

I am using NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-45.git20131003.fc20. If NetworkManager is uninstalled and you restart your F20 machine, connections to computers outside of local network is not possible. A simple ping will fail. I suspect the reason is '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1' still uses GATEWAY0 sed -i 's/0=/=/' ifcfg-em1 systemctl restart network.service is a workaround. Shall I open a bug for a different package? Which package to blame?
The problem of writing GATEWAY has been fixed in NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-44.git20131003.fc20. However, if there are old files with GATEWAY0, they need to be fixed as you did when you use legacy network.service.
sorry, I left out important information in my previous post: I reinstalled my computer. There were no leftover files from previous installation. The reinstallation was performed with a kickstart text-only installation. It was initiated with a F20 USB thumb drive that was loaded with Fedora-20-x86_64-netinst.iso. An update repo is specified. It is accessible and works. The kickstart file contains static IPv4 adress assignment; IPv6 is disabled; NetworkManager package is uninstalled in %post section of kickstart file. After installation '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1' contains GATEWAY0. NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-45.git20131003.fc20 is the version that was available in the update repo.
