My mistake. I (mis)read somewhere that you had.

It's an easy mistake:
1. People like to flame about anything Lennart has written.
2. People like to flame about NetworkManager.
3. Therefore Lennart wrote NetworkManager.

For much the same reasons, really. NetworkManager, systemd, and pulseaudio all follow a similar policy of "no hacking around broken kernel code, fix the kernel". In all three cases, that policy results in occasional short-term breakage and "doesn't work for me", and long-term awesomeness.
