+> 3. A decision will have to be made concerning net_applet and NetworkManager
+
+I do not see why they should exclude each other. network-scripts/NM
+coexist in Fedora; Fedora ifup will request NM to start interface
+if required; if NM is not up it will do it itself.
+
+That is exactly what I'd love to see in the long run here.
+
+The real decision to be made is about network configuration files
+future. Currently they diverged far too far from what Fedora is using
+without offering any significant added value(I stay corrected; blino
+probably can say more here). Unification with Fedora initscripts would
+allow to reuse their infrastructure and seamlessly integrate NM.
+
+And of course we seem to be the only distribution to require
+network start before D-Bus. That needs to be decided upon as you cannot
+start NM without D-Bus but if NM is providing service we cannot
+start D-Bus without it ...
