You can configure them, but you do it via the notification settings, not via 
the networkmanagement setting (I had trouble finding this).  I suspect it's 
been there, just not very disoverable.

I think the indication in the systray is generally sufficient and if people 
are particularly concerned, then have a way to re-enable them.  Does the 
ability to enable them via GUI resolve your concern?
