Changed back to Incomplete, as this came up again during a meeting this morning to discuss the current state of the APN editor.

I think what's needed is some way to indicate that an APN/context is the preferred APN for a Internet and/or MMS.

I'm not quite sure why a generic tag was proposed, as I think a simple boolean 'Preferred' property would suffice. Doing this also means we wouldn't need to add a new method either.

Note, NetworkManager currently reads the ofono gprs contexts directly from ofono's settings file ( /var/lib/ofono/<IMSI/gprs ), which isn't ideal. I'll create a backlog task for NM, as this really should be done via DBus.

Also, if we were to implement this, NM's ofono code would need to change to honor the 'Preferred' APN, and ignore the other APNs. Nuntium would also have to change to honor this new property as well.
