Replace current network applet in KDE with a new one and bring the latest news
in NetworkManager to KDE.
== Detailed description ==
Plasma-nm is a new plasma applet for network management in KDE which uses the
latest KDE technologies. It supports all connection types from NetworkManager
like bonding, bridging etc.
... and all types of VPN?
Yes, and even more than the older applet:

One thing we're going to be working on upstream is a more agnostic way
for VPN plugins to present their configuration UI, since there are
multiple things that need this information, including command-line
programs. I'm not sure yet how that will get presented, but likely in
some form of UI description files that can be easily parsed by whatever
UI you've got and the widgets reconstructed. We've come to the point
where it's increasingly hard to keep duplicating the UI logic every time
updated UI happens. This would ideally help the KDE folks too as they
wouldn't have to write completely new VPN UI for each plugin.

This would definitely be a very welcome addition; we already have a
similar mechanism for parsing the OpenConnect auth dialogs, having some
well-defined XML/JSON description would be a big bonus
