Perhaps people are just tired of flame wars... (for now...) ;)

However, I hope ifupdown is going to live on. Or are there any plans to
replace Debian's native tool?

It's hook-framework makes it extremely powerful, many other packages
use/rely on it and it simply works™ in many/most cases.

Haven't tried systemd-networkd yet, but at least NM fails in even very
simple cases (like resolving is broken, when I disconnect the wire and
go back to wifi, etc. pp.) ... plus the whole design, that it tries to
be the canonical configuration place but still uses the actual native
tools for all tasks, seems to be simply wrong... for all cases I know
(vpnc, strongswan, wpa) one looses quite a number of features which are
not exported through NM.


Cheers,
Chris.
