Whenever I connect to a new wifi network, it is without asking set as Automatically connect to this network when it is available. Personally, I don't want this. At least in Windows when connecting to a network, they give you the option to tick for auto connect.
It is my opinion new wifi networks should not be set to auto connect without express consent.

Re: [suggestion] New wifi connection not automatically connect by default
Well, I like that default setting.... And if you don't like it: it's easy to disable it in the settings of Network Manager.
Default settings are always a compromise. What do most users probably want? It's almost impossible to find default settings that everybody likes. Especially for us stubborn individualistic Linux users....
