I agree with that, connman has still a long way to go and one cycle
seems short to get in shape. Having network access working correctly is
especially important on UNE since it's the main use of most netbooks, it
would be a drawback for Ubuntu to have the first unity version being
associated with non working internet experience. 
It's nice to have a fallback option but it would still provide a
suboptimal unity experience where it seems we could aim for something
much better using the technologies we have now.
