Hi,
we should team up with other distributions that are no-systemd,
e.g pclinuxos (but there are others debian based) which have resolved
this problems already having various flavors of full-fledged DEs.
This would reduce effort duplication, ensure that the code is maintained
and give the needed man power.

This feature could be disabled by adding this to the [main] section:

dns=none

in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

You know what I'd like? I'd like
