But the purpose of systemd is not to give you an interface. This is provided
by each desktop. Systemd will give you the low level service management -
AFAIK it works via dbus.

systemd <-> dbus <-> network-manager
              |
    network-manager-interface

This is my understanding how it works or should work.
