Until lucid or natty it indeed wasn't, it defaulted to per-user
connections. But this is highly unfriendly with multiple users, you
don't have network available in lightdm, and all our OEMs changed the
default anyway, so since natty or precise or so NM now defaults to
system-wide connections.

(FWIW, I fully agree with this.)
