True.

I did switch to ifupdown-ng (as it seems the regular ifupdown is on its
way out) and the one thing I noticed was that ifupdown-ng does not handle
the include directive for /etc/network/interfaces.d/. Not a big issue, did
not take long to consolidate the interfaces into /etc/network/interfaces
and then it works great.

iwd and ifupdown{,-ng} works, and works well, but what I like about them
most is that they have lean dependencies and focus on one thing in true
unix fashion. I can sidestep both systemd and Network-Manager entirely
with a few rebuilt packages. That works for me.
