Conscious User:
Let me start of by saying , This bug was slated to be not fixed.
As , 1: No one, other than people actually looking for the difference, really 
cares about the stages or watches the stages during connection.
2: No one would really know what the different stages are unless they actually 
know what they are looking for.

Stage1 icons is not supposed to be used or noticed[stage1 should take
place within a fraction of secs] , if it is noticed there is a problem
with the hardware. So it is a rather moot point redoing icons for those.
It is well differentiable from the rest of the icons.

stage 2 is the stage where the hardware scans for netwroks , hence the waves 
move outwards and back inwards
stage 3 is the resolution of the passwords for the wireless and the connection 
phase , hence retaining the old animation was done.

Now these two stages look similar because the animation had to be subtle
and allow differentiation for those who are intent on looking and know
the real difference in the stages. IMO, it is much more clearer than the
default animation shipped with nm.

Now, regarding the vpn and stage 1 looking similar , it was intentional.
Since stage 1 isnt used anyway , it was better to use that for the vpn
animation.
