Does that mean that someone needs to create something else than NM,
if NM never will solve the problems users have? That's kind of a sad statement.

This doesn't solve the problem. One problem: I have two networks, 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
The 2.4 have better range (of course), but when the 5GHz is available, I want NM to switch to that one. But if it previously connected to the 2.4, it will NEVER switch to 5GHz again.

Similar for a wider (public) network that also covers your home. When you're home, you want that network to be picked. But when you leave home and use the public network (eduroam?), NM will never pick your home network again, because it's also covered by the public network. And the public network now have a "better" timestamp.
