For completeness let me turn that arguemnt around on you as systemd maintainer. Why is systemd-networkd, a component currently disabled by default mind you bloating our base system? :) $ dpkg -L systemd | grep networkd | sudo xargs du -ch 4.0K /etc/systemd/networkd.conf 4.0K /lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd-wait-online.service 4.0K /lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd-wait-online@.service 4.0K /lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service 4.0K /lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.socket 1.6M /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd 32K /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online 4.0K /usr/share/man/man5/networkd.conf.5.gz 4.0K /usr/share/man/man8/systemd-networkd-wait-online.service.8.gz 4.0K /usr/share/man/man8/systemd-networkd.service.8.gz 4.0K /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/systemd-networkd.rules 4.0K /usr/share/man/man5/networkd.conf.d.5.gz 4.0K /usr/share/man/man8/systemd-networkd-wait-online.8.gz 4.0K /usr/share/man/man8/systemd-networkd-wait-onl...@.service.8.gz 4.0K /usr/share/man/man8/systemd-networkd.8.gz 1.7M total --Daniel
