So, several people suggested that having separate packages would be
useful. I guess it's also useful for testing reasons and to send a clear
message that NetworkManager is not GNOME-specific. And also it'll be
easier to make new releases for GNOME releases. Things like that.

Is there any reason the NM hackers would prefer to keep only one
tarball?
