No, because the Debian guys got all cranky and want NM to handle dbus
dropouts, because if they need to restart dbus because of a security
issue they don't want that to take down the entire machine including
networking.  So there's code to poll the bus every so often and try to
reconnect if NM gets disconnected (either due to an NM error like
sending a non-UTF8 string over the bus or if dbus quits/dies).
