The need for that will mostly vanish as soon as network connections
(rather then network interfaces) have firewall zones attached. When
connecting to a new network NM would ask whether you are connected
to e.g. your home network or some untrusted public one. The former
choice would just map to the internal zone ie no filtering,
therefore no problems.
