Hi,

you can report it on KDE bugzilla [1], but as the main plasma-nm developer I'm 
not going to make this optional, there should be rather an information 
somewhere that your connectivity is limited. Even on Windows you would see the 
same icon if you cannot reach the full internet.

Btw. I just tried to remove NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora and there 
is no dependency issue. I can't think of any package (at least KDE package) 
which has it as dependency.
