I have very mixed feelings about not allowing any customization here, especially for web-services where we mostly talk about proprietary web services: a) Who decides which to include? Why would we include Google and Facebook but not Bing or UbuntuOne*? This is one of the points Microsoft got sued badly by the EU in the past. * Don't take this examples to literally... b) There might be a lot of people that take integration of some services as part of the business. That doesn't mean we should encourage it but even manufacturers that would want to preinstall some Linux distribution would likely want to have some customization here. Personally I also don't think that the network panel is very useful. There are basically three cases to consider here: a) Wired connection - should automatically connect with DHCP b) Wireless connection - I think NetworkManager covers this pretty nicely in the UI. The network menu could even be automatically shown on first login when no network is connected. c) Scary (static IP, Proxy, whatever) setups - we don't want to provide an UI in the startup-wizard, do we?
