This is a manipulated expectation by makers to get data and results in
this dilemma.
I think most Tails users are seeking control, so allowing people to
decide for themselves if they want to connect to the internet is
important.

Network settings can be configured in the system when running, yeah? If
so, I see no issue. This would be no different than activating
Ethernet/Wi-Fi on other OSs.
Is the Greeter doing more than preconfiguring settings that can be
configured from the running system (other than for persistence)? If so,
this seems like an issue for established experiences like having full SU
control over the internet during use.
If rebooting is required, then I am against my proposal (also against
the protocol that makes this, and would reverse this from being, the
case).
Wordlife,
Spencer
