> There won't ever be user-defined priorities in NM.

Does that mean that someone needs to create something else than NM,
if NM never will solve the problems users have? That's kind of a sad statement. 
Please confirm.

This doesn't solve the problem. One problem: I have two networks, 2.4GHz and 
5GHz.
The 2.4 have better range (of course), but when the 5GHz is available, I want 
NM to switch to that one. But if it previously connected to the 2.4, it will 
NEVER switch to 5GHz again.

Similar for a wider (public) network that also covers your home. When
you're home, you want that network to be picked. But when you leave home
and use the public network (eduroam?), NM will never pick your home
network again, because it's also covered by the public network. And the
public network now have a "better" timestamp.
