Hi Slava,
so is better to wait your new implementation (extending the api) or
the testing of the merge request patch still gives you useful feedback?

Hi Claudio,
I would say update to 2.1 first. 2.0.5 is missing some packages that the
latest ofono build depends on.
After giving it a bit more thought, I'm leaning towards not merging this
one but instead extending the api in such a way that would allow
selecting an arbitrary combination of technologies.
Cheers,
-Slava

Allow to strictly define the preferred technology (!112) · Merge

Currently, if e.g. LTE is selected as the preferred technology, we
allow all technologies up to and including LTE. With the
`StrictTechnologySelection` option enabled, it would mean LTE and
nothing...
