Does the mention of NetworkManager mean that this is to be the default in FC7? It was included in previous versions but not, so far as I know, made visible to non power users.

I've been using it pretty happily since FC5 or so, on laptops, I don't think it's very useful for servers, business desktops or trivial DHCP-only home desktops so hopefully if it /is/ now the default it can be disabled for those scenarios.

NetworkManager is on by default with the live images (and installs from the live images), but not with the more traditional install media. And it can definitely be disabled even in the first case.
