We can't drop it: There are things it does the Network panel can't do. The Network panel actually invokes nm-connection-editor in many cases.

Anyway, I do think we should either split the .desktop file to a separate subpackage that won't be installed by default, or add a rule in the .desktop file saying it shouldn't be shown in GNOME.

Hey,

I think nm-connection-editor is mostly redundant with the Network panel
in gnome-control-center. We already drop other redundant settings
programs (e.g. system-config-printer and the ibus settings program);
maybe we can cut this one as well?
