For the record: *I* don't expect it, since this behaviour is completely
unnecessary and only a result of bad design. Leaving wpa_supplicant
running on stop and re-interfacing with it on start would be simple to
do if you wanted to fix this bug.
But it's of course always much easier to claim that it's not a bug at
all. Pigs can fly. The moon is made of green cheese. etc.

Why not? That seems very inconsistent. How do I know which interfaces
I should expect to go down? Any interface without a wire? Can I make
the wlan interface stay up if I use a longer antenna cable? Why not?
Only a Network Manager developer can possibly know what to expect of
Network Manager...
