The overlap between n-m and systemd-networkd saddens me. n-m got
support for team/bond interfaces, VLANs, etc a while ago and now we get
to see yet another tool from systemd-* to redo this. I'm a big fan of
many of systemd's features and interfaces but bundling everything
into one systemd repo/package is going to hit us hard sooner or later
if we can't standarize on a set of (e.g. DBus) interfaces.
