I wonder what amount of features we are missing for network-manager to
do the job; instead of rewriting a daemon from scratch, we might as well
use one that was designed mostly for the same purpose. It’s
event-driven, it’s extensible, and its features list is already
impressive. Although it has some bugs remaining to fix, this would also
be the case of the new implementation.
The primary drawback I see is that some people object to having D-Bus
installed on their systems. But should we manage to get NM being the
default, we could keep ifupdown in the archive to manage trivial setups
with less disk/memory usage; just as an optional replacement.
