Sugar still creates new connections if the user tries to connect to a previously-unknown network (the same way nm-applet works). Where this new connection gets stored is just a technical detail, not a change of how it works in general. The ability to connect to networks using WPA2-Enterprise using Sugar rather than having to use nm-applet or nm-connection-editor is important both before and after the change to NM 0.9. The patch we're talking about is a Request For Discussion (RFC) based on sucrose-0.94; we'd appreciate feedback on the chosen approach (including design and implementation). When the patch is ready (including integrating useful feedback we hopefully get from sugar-devel), we'll try to upstream it, which will include porting it to the future master branch (Sugar 0.96 is already Feature frozen). However our short-term goal is to fix a downstream problem, so we need a version based on Sugar 0.94 and for practical reasons (testing) this is the version we'll work on first.
