And then what guarantees us the KDE frontend is not going to get the

upgraded to an experimental, completely incompatible snapshot which

release cycle (after the feature freeze!) so there's no way the KDE
frontend can be fixed in time)?
The way NetworkManager 0.7 has been handled in F8 makes me very
distrustful of such "one backend, multiple frontend" solutions.
The timeline of NetworkManager was /clearly/ communicated in multiple
FESCo meetings. I'm sorry if nobody from the KDE sig paid attention
and sought out resources to work with NM developer to make sure the KDE
side of things panned out.
