More "down to the bolts" folks use ifupdown (I do). If I stick an Ethernet
cable into my laptop I want to be able to say "sudo ifup eth0".
That's more than I need to do. systemd-networkd.socket notices and appropriately
responds to the ethernet cable connection without any help from me.
But this is exactly what I /don't/ want "just happening". That's why
I am more than happy with plain, simple ifupdown.
I was just pointing at the fact that even ifupdown can automatically
bring up an interface on connect (cf. allow-hotplug), courtesy of
udev.
So many ways to cut the cake :-)
