I have difficulty accepting that it's "necessary" to spam two log files
with the following two lines every five seconds:

Sep  7 16:11:05 dixon NetworkManager: <info>  nm_policy_device_change_check:: 
old_dev has_link? 1 
Sep  7 16:11:05 dixon NetworkManager: <info>  nm_policy_device_change_check:: 
old_dev && new_dev!!

You'll be writing about 6.5 MiB/day of identical lines (except for the
date/time) in most cases (i.e. when things are working).

A good solution would be to make the verbosity runtime-configurable
either via a config file option (/etc/NetworkManager/conf or something)
or something in gconf. That way when someone actually *wants* this
information, they can enable it, but the rest of us aren't spinning our
hard drives constantly to keep writing this information that is of no
use to us in a working configuration.
