Public bug reported:
I keep /home on a separate partition.
I upgrade by performing a fresh install.
Expected behavior: My internet connection passwords, like most of my
other settings, will be stored somewhere in /home and so will be
preserved.
Actual behavior: The passwords are saved in /etc/NetworkManager/system-
connections, so a fresh install wipes them out.
Though I suppose the actual behavior is intended, for the unsuspecting
it can be a trap.
