This is not a bug but wanted behavior. Instead of forcefully breaking
connections, we're notifying (via the reboot icon in panel, or a red
power icon now) that it would be a good time after upgrading
NetworkManager to reboot. Nothing it forced upon the users :) If you
want to restart NetworkManager alone then it will work just as well;
it's just that rebooting is a sure way to know it has been restarted.
Given the risk of other changes from updates, it remains a good
practice.
Closing as Won't Fix. This is substancially better than breaking
connection with a forceful reload of NM, and we do want to avoid asking
the user for such things.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
