For example: is there a scenario in which someone is using systemd-networkd but then finds they need to do X, which they cant essily do using systend but which nm support is better--- therefore if they are using netplan they can simply install network-manager, change a netplan setting and gain X with no need to understand the differences between the network-manager and systemd configuration languages? (or swapping the roles of NM and systemd-neyworkd, or using ifupdown99 instead)
