That article says that servers should use FREEBIND or subscribe to
netlink for changes. This is a major effort which needs upstream
cooperation or local patches.
The third option suggests that the network manager option mentioned
there is what one would need for ifupdown, and I don't have the
slightest idea how one could guess whether the networks is "done" now.
