Still looking for the funny bit, except if you're implying that as a DSA
member, I should dislike ifupdown because Philipp had to manually
intervene on a server managed by it. In that case it'd indeed be really
funny, but probably not for the reason you'd think it is.

Well, netplan has no added value in my environments, contrary to some
big changes we had in the past (systemd, journald - which still forwards
logs to rsyslog, …), so I'd rather not being force-fed this tool. I'd
react the same if someone were to try making me adopt resolved or
timesyncd.

But in the whole, I don't care that much, I'm perfectly fine with apt
purge netplan.io after bootstrapping a server if the "consensus" is to
force-feed it.
