But why have yet another application taking up yet more system tray
space to do what NM should be doing itself?  IMHO, a completely
different application for managing only l2tp-ipsec VPNs when we already
have a VPN managing application is the completely wrong approach.

This ticket is about this functionality missing in NM, not about
promoting yet another application to do what NM should be doing.
