+	    When set to <literal>true</literal>, NetworkManager quits after
+	    performing initial network configuration but spawns small helpers
+	    to preserve DHCP leases and IPv6 addresses.  This is useful in
+	    environments where network setup is more or less static or it is
+	    desirable to save process time but still handle some dynamic
+	    configurations.  When this option is <literal>true</literal>,
+	    network configuration for WiFi, WWAN, Bluetooth, ADSL, and PPPoE
+	    interfaces cannot be preserved due to their use of external
+	    services, and these devices will be deconfigured when NetworkManager
+	    quits even though other interface's configuration may be preserved.
+	    The default value is <literal>false</literal>, meaning that
+	    NetworkManager will continue running after initial network
+	    configuration and continue responding to system and hardware events,
+	    D-Bus requests, and user commands.
