Actually no, RHEL6 is completely disconnected from anything we would be
discussing here :) I mainly meant that perhaps there are distros that
are still using GNOME 2.x that keep other components up-to-date? Maybe
not, perhaps they have all started using Cinnamon or MATE; and then we
could set NoShowIn=GNOME.
Leaving it out of the stock install seems a much better fit than
NoShowIn to me. If you actually want to use it, you probably want it to
be in the menus. Even in GNOME.
Except that the GNOME control center's network panel still uses it, so
it does need a hard RPM dependency on nm-connection-editor. We should
likely just NoShowIn.
