Pavel,

You've followed up in the NetworkManager mailing list, however I want to make
sure the issue is clear.

Even if we patch NetworkManager - yes or no, we'll still have to suggest the
user to restart NetworkManager. If the user will have to restart
NetworkManager, do we really want the patch?

In future versions if the patch is not applied and the NetworkManager-ssh
package is downloaded after NetworkManager and the patch was not applied, a
restart will be needed. If the patch would be applied - it wouldn't require a
restart.

If someone does not perform a distribution upgrade (f18 for instance) and
updates NetworkManager with the patch and downloads NetworkManager-ssh - things
will not work until a restart of NetworkManager.

In my opinion the patch should be applied regardless, since all the known VPN
plugins are recognized in NetworkManager dbus config file, however much of a
difference it doesn't make since the current limitations will require a restart
in some cases. It wouldn't be "clean".

Please advise what you think is the best solution.
