Replying comment #5, as I already responded in some other bug, it causes more
issues than solves. The "-> Usability" remark is funny, it would reduce
usability, not improve it. The problems with what we had before 11.0 were that
NM just lanuched something. There was no communication between the process and
NM, so it was impossible to know if it succeeded, when the connection was
estabilished, when it dropped, ... Additionally, with a hack like that, NM
could not change it's state (so if it was the only connection, NM's state would
stay "not activated") since there wasn't any device to mark as active, and all
the applications that use NM would still be in offline state.
