I see two separate issues here. If you re going to depend on a network |
| 13 |
manager, there should be a virtual - networkmanager, connman, wicd, openrc |
| 14 |
and systemd all have that capability. |

Secondly, I agree with you that there seems no need to require a network |
| 17 |
manager just to use a networked service. After all, people use IM on |
| 18 |
desktop computers with wired connections. What matters is that you have a |
| 19 |
network connection, not the mechanics used to set it up. |

If at first you don't succeed, give up. No use being a damn fool. |
