I read caillon's blog, and I've been excited about NetworkManager since
I saw it announced there.  I'm still too chicken to install it on a
Gentoo system, though.

Probably bug 154497 is enough to keep it hard masked.  Reading
through its bugs gives some good ideas about how to avoid problems,
for anyone who wants to give it a try.
