Well I think the whole idea of "wifi === unmetered" is flawed.
It's as good a metric as we've got. When you set up a personal bridge
between UMTS/wifi, or even GPRS/wired there's no metadata on the
connection about this kind of setup. If the AP name had some kind of
prefix/suffix we could use that as a clue, but I don't think just
sticking yet another checkbox into a UI is going to solve this for all
people.
Android has it

Windows has it

Why a Workstation product can't, this is not about adding a setting for
just only being extremely flexible, It is a setting that will help users
a lot.
