handling eol/orphan of dup'd or unmaintained functionality (Bug 483185)

[Jerry Amundson]

How does/will a packaging system handle this?

As long as "there is no noticeable difference to the user", Fedora
should bump NetworkManager-* with obsoletes of the knetworkmanger-*
packages.

Be aware the knetworkmanager pkg has been EOL'd/orphaned, and is currently not
supported beyond F10.  closing->wontfix.

Our current best recommendation is to use NetworkManager-gnome

The plan is that kde-plasma-NetworkManager will obsolete knetworkmanager. We
have it packaged and it will soon go to review, and from there to Rawhide.
We hope to have it ready for F11. It should be hitting Rawhide well before
the beta.

Ahh. Figures I would interpret "Our current best recommendation" as
meaning "our only and future..."

Thanks... I'll keep an eye out for the new package.
