Actually no, RHEL6 is completely disconnected from anything we would be
discussing here :)  I mainly meant that perhaps there are distros that
are still using GNOME 2.x that keep other components up-to-date?  Maybe
not, perhaps they have all started using Cinnamon or MATE; and then we
could set NoShowIn=GNOME.

Except that the GNOME control center's network panel still uses it, so
it does need a hard RPM dependency on nm-connection-editor.  We should
likely just NoShowIn.
