Fwd: Re: [Fedora-spins] [spin-kickstarts] +nm-applet

[Rex Dieter]

Rahul shared some of the same concern that Kevin did about this recent 
change I made.

I have to admit, I share some of the same pragmatic sentiments that 
Rahul does (esp in areas where stability/features are even wider, like 
with kpackagekit).

Comments?

I assume this requires manual reconfiguration by the user.  Couldn't knm
or nm-plasmoid whichever one is the future for KDE just be fixed to
support everything nm-applet does?  If you don't have feature parity,
you should just bite the bullet and continue to include nm-applet by
default and ignore the purity angle.   Including both is not the right
approach IMO.
