There is a little problem with that theory. Both Red Hat and upstream
bugzilla shows a considerable amount of bugs being filed and fixed on a
regular basis and RHEL 5 already includes NetworkManager as a fully
supported component. There is also a large amount of work that needs to
be done on fixing software that doesn't react well to network
connections disappearing underneath them as happens often with wireless
networks on laptops and mobile systems.

As much as I am "not a fan" of NetworkManager, I think I have to give
that post an "A'men". 'Specially that last sentence.
NM is a worthy target for criticism, but it shouldn't be a punching boy
for other applications weaknesses.
