To be clear, I'm not really convinced yet that this is something we need...
there is a lot of legacy admin overhead and infrastructure that is highly
resistant to change here.
Agreed. On the other hand, with systemd comes a lot of change anyway.
And obviously, something like wicked doesn't have to be completely disruptive.
The idea is to still have ifup/ifdown scripts for those who have been
using them, and have written their scripts around those. Or to be able
to parse the old ifcfg-* files for backward compatibility.
