Please refrain from this kind of ridiculous speculation. It does no
credit to the list or to the project. The design goals of NetworkManager
are _on the project's front page_:
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ . This is not difficult to
discover. This kind of bad faith faux-pontification is extremely rude to
the developers and doesn't take us anywhere productive.
