Hi

In light of issues like #1148985 I would raise the question if we
still should add the first created user automatically to the netdev
group. Initially this was done for #352713.

Somewhen back in 2012 network-manager added as well a PolicyKit pkla
file which allows members of group netdev or sudo to create
system-wide network connections.

AFAIU though the use is still present in
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules
nowdays to allow members in netdev group to modify settings. The use
of the netdev group in wpa remains as well.

So this will not be a easy topic in general and we might need to
explore how other distributions are handling the situation.

Thoughs?

Regards,
Salvatore
