- When the API service enumerates creation dates,
  the configuration value from the network helper
  is used instead of the persistent config value,
  so the creation date winds up being the current
  time. The short term fix is for the API server
  to return NetworkState values that combine
  the API server's persistent network config with
  the network status returned from the helper.
- The longer term refinement could be to define
  a uniform model for resources where each resource
  type has Metadata (id/Identifiable, creationDate,
  labels), and type-specific configuration and
  state/status.
