It'll definitely pay off, mid-term. The Intel guys are working on ConnMan, a 
replacement for networkmanager that's better and faster and does everything 
with less dependencies and works on mobile etc.

These prospects look pretty cool, but given the time it took networkmanager to 
become usable, it might take a while and probably networkmanager and connman 
will both be used for a while -- so a multi-backend networkmanager makes a lot 
of sense.

First we need to get networkmanager into a releasable state though. IMO it's 
probably one of the biggest missing items for a fully functional KDE 4 
desktop.
