Hello, This is just a heads up to suggest that we officially adopt a policy of moving to NetworkManager after systemd becomes our default (and likely only) init system - i.e. likely for mga3.
As you may know, GNOME is moving towards a systemd user session and systemd itself is very much aligning itself to be the one true init system on linux. I also have it on good authority that many of the features lacking in NetworkManager (such as bridging configuration) will be available in the not too distant future and many other more advanced networking features such as fast-start DHCP, per-interface DNS, 4-8's DNS fallback and several other nice features will ultimately be possible too. So with all this in mind, I think the writing is very much on the wall with regards to the future integration of NetworkManager into the desktop. I believe we will be able to concentrate our resources better by going along with the rest of the world in this regard. I have personally switched to it now (as I do not need advanced features of draknetcenter et al) as a step towards this. It would be nice if other users did this to ensure that integration is suitably up to par.
