Good point. However, an argument could also be made that if a user uses
Network Manager to set up and establish the network connections, the
user expects Network Manager to own and manage those connections. A
logical extension of this expectation is that, when Network Manager is
shut down, it takes its connections with it. If the user wants a more
"permanent" connection, then the user should set up the connection
manually. At least, that's the way I would expect things to work.
