iwd has quicker reconnects (very nice on handheld wakeups and flaky WiFi), more stability and better performance.

This could be achieved relatively simply by install the iwd package and putting

wifi_backend.conf

[device]
wifi.backend=iwd

in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/. This would also allow people to switch back to wpa_supplicant if they really desire so.
