IMHO ICD's not perfect, but neither is the competition. ICD's greatest sin is that it's proprietary. If you do all the work of implementing the interfaces, perhaps it'll be simpler to also write the engine rather than try to shoehorn connman/networkmanager/netifd/whatever into providing it.

@jonwil,
I surely would fine this very interesting. If only for the fun of it

The advantage of replacing ICD is that things can be added to it that are not currently possible (e,g, support for better ways to decide which network to connect to)

I am in the process of figuring out all the dbus interfaces, gconf keys etc that one would need to support in order to replace ICD with something else (e.g. whatever MeeGo/Nemo/Mer/etc uses) and still have other parts of the system keep working but I want to know if there is actually any interest in this work (and in an ICD replacement) or whether I should abandon it and give up.
No point in me working on this if no-one else cares (e.g. someone who can help write code or who knows how the replacement thingo that we would be using works)...

it may also help pali's ipv6 work. iirc there is currently no way to choose between v4 and v6 if a network provides both.
