There's at least ifupdown2 from Cumulus (also in Debian) that receive a
very active development.
Also, if ifupdown isn't receiving so much development, it's also because
it's just working fine. Do you see any missing feature?

It's fine to talk about the future, and I could somehow agree that this
can be one of the paths. But let's fix things for now.
Also, I don't think there's any OpenVSwitch integration in systemd, is
there? I know that OVS works very well with ifupdown (it took so long to
me to fix all the issues in the OVS package that I know it works now...).
