 > Antoine, could you elaborate why you marked this as critical? 
  
 With the unexpected removal of the network-manager applet I assumed the 
 machine would lose network access, and could not restore it due to 
 network being a requirement for installing the now missing packages. For 
 a lot of users, this would be as good as an unusable system. 
  
 But I might have been a bit quick with that: is that only the applet 
 that is removed? The core network-manager package itself is staying in 
 place, so network access is preserved? 
  
 If I was wrong about the loss of network access, then the severity 
 should probably be no higher than important. 
  
 PS: I added a comment with the bts command, but I notice it is not made 
 really obvious. Even I, knowing it was there, took a little while to 
 find it under the "full text" link next to the severity change notice. 
 I€€€m probably no longer going to rely on that comment system.
