Yes it does make it easier, and it is mentioned at the BreezyGoals
(maybe mdz remembers that I mentioned it several times at the kick-off
meeting too), but at a too low priority imho. I am goig to try
implementing such a program as soon as Breezy stabilizes and
NetworkManager becomes a bit usable. Up to that time, manual
configuration is needed. The default xsupplicant configuration file
contains lots of clear examples. Among which there is a mschapv2
example.
