In the name of consistency, the Fedora PPP code has "DEFROUTE=no|yes" which we should probably re-use for this instead of NM_NEVER_DEFAULT. The mapping there is pretty clear. NM should also honor GATEWAYDEV if it's set, but never try to write it back out. On write-out we should simply set DEFROUTE=no in the connection's ifcfg. Gene, care to respin the patch with DEFROUTE?
