   > 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.
