Public bug reported:

The desktop team is considering iwd as an alternative to wpa
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/1971739), while we didn't find the resources
to do the transition this cycle we would still like to provide the

would benefit users and give us a better base to get feedback before
next cycle.
