No, actually I don't quite agree that it's a bug in network-manager.
I'd argue that quota (and also the nfs umount script) shouldn't rely on
a arbitrary priority number during shutdown.
The real fix actually would have to happen within the init system. Our
current init scheme is simply not flexible enough for that.
I can do nothing about that in network-manager, that's why I reassign
the bug again.

Cheers,
Michael
