Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  nmcli is provided by networkmanager, cnetworkmanager stays in the repos cause it still works.

I think it would be a good idea to move cnetworkmanager to the aur because it has been deprecated by nmcli.

Well, the most important thing is users not getting accustomed to unmaintained software when theres better alternatives provided by the upstream developers themselves.
That being said i replaced the cnetworkmanager entries in the wiki with references to nmcli:

I have talked about this with ioni and he wanted to build the new networkmanager with nmcli, don't be afraid we will get it ;)

new networkmanager with nmcli? We have that already.

the only thing that i have to do is to add a replaces=cnetworkmanager in networkmanager
