Oneiric is already in Beta and we still have two different apps to
configure network connections. One in the System Settings and one when
using the indicators. Will that be the way Oneiric is shipped or will
they be merged?
As far as I know, both will be shipped, and as for my own opinion,
both are needed.
Part of the reason for this is that they both deal with the exact same
backend; and not all variants of Ubuntu ship the gnome-control-center
pieces (I can already think of Xubuntu which is currently not shipping
it).
Furthermore, not all the settings are covered by both applications.
The gnome-control-center stuff includes proxy configuration which is
not something available (yet) in nm-connection-editor. This is partly
a decision coming from Gnome and a side effect of the move to Gnome
Shell, which ships its own module for the network indicator, while
still using some parts of nm-applet.
And all this brings me back to the fact that the gnome-control-center
module for Network uses dialogs coming from nm-applet, so for now they
are not really possible to separate.
