	Answering my own question it is indeed new, 0.8.9997 includes this 
property. I will upgrade the nm09 branch to require this version to compile. 
We can use this property in interface details widget to get the details about 
VPN connections. I do not see anywhere else we could use it, can you give me 
more examples where we could use it? I am not saying that it is has no use, 
just does not come to my mind now where else we could use it.
