Obviously the There is one reason I can think of, why it still makes sense to keep nm-system-settings in a separate process: You can easily restart nm-system-settings after changing it's configuration, without losing internet connection. If NM could be fixed to not teardown an active connection on reload/restart, it would of course be even better.
