This will bring there advanced ppp settings dialog (similar to one in pptp plugin), pppd plugin/etc. Also, a requested feature is to support openl2tpd. Won't this unnecessary bloat openswan-nm plugin? And also from user perspective: openswan has more options concerning ipsec whenever l2tp/pptp plugin have simple interface where user have generally supply only vpn gateway address/username/password. Combining all this will result in something monstrous.
