Title:
  Networks I have never connected to should be confined to an "Unknown
  Networks" folder

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When a user clicks the network manager indicator, a dropdown appears
  and lists wifi networks. This menu should NOT display networks that
  the user has never connected to. Networks the user has never connected
  to should only display in the "More networks" folder. At a mininum,
  the user should be given the ability to confine unwanted networks in
  the "More networks" folder.

  It is an unproductive design choice to force users to have to wade
  through networks they have never connected to (networks they will
  never connect to) in their menu. Numerous reasons exist why a user
  will not use the Auto-Connect setting for wireless networks. So it
  makes sense and is more efficient to have the menu only display the
  networks the user makes active use of and no more.

  When I click on the Network Manager Indicator and select "Edit
  Connections" and then look under the "Wifi" heading, only a couple
  networks appear. So why do 5 or more networks (networks I have never
  connected to, networks I never will connect to) perpetually show in
  the Network Indicator menu? They should not be displayed like they
  are. They should be confined to the "More networks" folder.
  Alternatively, there should be a way to manually confine/sandbox
  unwanted networks to this folder so they no longer display in the
  dropdown menu.

  In the interest of providing a visual example of what I am talking about, here is a picture of some networks I would like to hide/remove from my Network Indicator menu.
