Run user scripts on up/down events. That's a huge blank spot in
systemd-networkd. And by design, so it's really not fixable.
Sure, we do have networkd-dispatcher but it's not quite the same. And
"Somebody" would have to do a really huge job to create a complete
automatic converter. I don't think that's worth the effort. But it's
of course up to "Somebody" to decide how they want to spend their
resources.
