OK, so now it's clear that gnome-network is completely different and that
the maintainer is no longer proposing it for 2.4. Let's forget about
gnome-network for now.

Dude, you've got to promote your own stuff if nobody else will. Personally I
thought that even the maintainer didn't want this in 2.4, so I just ignored
this until now. It's a bit late, but let's try to move this along. If these
things work well then let's try to get them into 2.4. I think lots of people
think they are a good idea.

So, people need to try them out _now_ and start the criticism. The GEP 11
end date is June 2nd - 4 days from now.

(The releases there seem to be a bit old, so please make new ones quickly if
appropriate)

Without discussion, I don't see how they can be approved for 2.4. The
release-team won't make a decision for you, it just does what the community
seems to want.
