The project design (code and interface) seems to be very influenced by
NetworkManager, but both code and design wise that project has flaws
that Dan and others have spent a lot of time undoing.  I don't want to
see the same mistakes made 5 years later =)

>From a UI side, if your first cut is just replacing
system-config-firewall, that seems more than enough, no?  How the
firewall controls/design integrates with GNOME 3 networking would need
someone with actual experience design, but I am just trying to avoid a
regression here with yet another part of the OS taking up 22 pixels of
screen space permanently.  You can use the notification system for
transient issues, but I'm *very* skeptical of anything here that isn't
just on/off.

>From the code side, I think the NM "session" configuration basically
hasn't worked; the new NM code will be all system settings.  In
particular how it works with fast user switching is pretty suboptimal.
