Yes. But, underneath it, I suspect that QNetworkAccessManager isOnline()
always returns false. (At least, that would be consistent with the
behavior we saw in the thumbnailer.) Marcus, on line 173,
Status::Unknown is mentioned.

Kyle, it's not clear from your original description whether you are
*actually* seeing "Unknown", or are you just objecting to having that
status in the enum? If the former, a test case would be really useful.

Title:
  "unknown" connectivity status problematic

Status in The Savilerow project:
  New
Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  metadata provides a scope a network connectivity status enum with three 
possible states:
  * connected
  * disconnected
  * unknown

  Sometimes unknown is the current state. This is quite problematic
  because in general a scopes that queries the network (that is, most
  scopes) need to know whether there is network or is not network and
  depending on this either make the network queries or display an error
  message.

  A status of unknown connectivity leaves the scope with no valid option:
  * the scope could assume the network is down and provide the user an error 
message. But often the network is not actually down, so this interrupts the 
user's flow unnecessarily
  *  the scope could assume the network is up, but this is dangerous if it is 
not up
