Hi Rusty,

I know it is hard and Outlook is just utterly broken, but small reminder
that this mailing list doesn't do top-posting.

I have to agree here. That is not what we want. When the user connects
successfully to a network/service then this just means that this becomes
one of the services the others wants us to use. If that service is for
one reason or another no longer available we have to go ahead and
connect to different one.

So there is a difference with disconnect and remove. When calling remove
the user clearly has no longer interest in that service and we don't
care about it anymore. When calling disconnect, it means that the user
doesn't wanna use it right now. However it is okay to auto-connect it
again next time. For example if the default service gets disconnected.

We don't wanna have the user to switch modes. We have to make this
decision for the user. Exposing the user to a concept of manual and
automatic mode is a bad idea from an experience point of view. It is
just way too complex and the user should not be bothered with these
details anyway.

Regards

Marcel
