Public bug reported: I keep /home on a separate partition.
I upgrade by performing a fresh install. Expected behavior: My internet connection passwords, like most of my other settings, will be stored somewhere in /home and so will be preserved. Actual behavior: The passwords are saved in /etc/NetworkManager/system- connections, so a fresh install wipes them out. Though I suppose the actual behavior is intended, for the unsuspecting it can be a trap.
