We've discussed whether we should be more explicit about how network ma= nagement
was done on GuixSD.
I argued that we should highlight that nmcli / nmtui can be used by default= .
Some counter arguments were that network-manager is not necessarily what th= e
user will install.

But it's the default nonetheless and if the users go by the vanilla
%desktop-services, that's what they will get.=C2=A0 I think Vikram'= s message is
another case in point: we should be more explicit about something so crucia= l.
