1. Try to work out how to hide the networking menu. (For example, you're using a desktop machine that is always connected by Ethernet.)

What happens: There's no obvious way to do it.

What should happen: I suggest a checkbox, "Show network status menu in the menu bar", at the bottom of the "Network Connections" window, as shown in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=settings-window-flight-mode.png> (Never mind that the rest of the window is different.)
