I see two things missing from this resolution:
1. GNOME has a stronger dependency on NM than they did when Squeeze
was released. GNOME Shell now has a hard dependency on NM.

2. Yes, but it is also unusual for the average user to need to disable
NM. For the average user, the consequences of not having NM are quite
a bit worse than the benefits of being able to set up networking by
hand. It's definitely possible to disable NM and the procedure to do
this could easily be release-noted.

Just my 2 cents,
