I understand your fears about the uncertainty of future developments. After all ifupdown is without doubt in a bit problematic state due to isc-dhcp-client no longer being supported, a feature Debian relied on, and as far as we know the support for alternatives like dhcpcd-base could end at any time as well. Debian already relies on a fairly large set of base software like gcc, linux, glibc, systemd, ... So it seems reasonable to try to not grow that list much further to address your concerns. So we probably should look at systemd-networkd more seriously. Thank you for providing further arguments for doing so. Ansgar
