Upstream has moved to 0.7, but Ubuntu has not yet. 0.7 is more a
development-in-progress branch than a completely stable one, afaik.

There is also a new plugin architecture in 0.7 - OpenVPN and Cisco VPN
support has been ported, but PPTP has not. Therefore upgrading to 0.7
would break PPTP VPN support.

Follow https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/network-manager/ubuntu.0.7
if you wish (and especially if you can help) - it's possibly coming
for Intrepid Ibex.
