I fail to understand the point of this SRU. What good does it do to have
the wifi connected at the login prompt, but disconnect from that network
after login?

I did see this, in the original description:

That particular deployment does do something at the login screen when it
can reach the network? Or do they have the mentioned polkit rules (a
local configuration, I gather) that allow the connection to "survive"
the login?
