That's reasonable, but please bring these concerns upstream on the NetworkManager mailing list [1]; at that point they can be addressed upstream, and we'll get any possible changes with the next release.

Both have a dedicated IP address. When I want to set up the connection, it insists on specifying a gateway address. As the two are connected directly there is no gateway and it does not even makes sense. However without a gateway address specified the connection cannot be saved.
