It is fun. 😀 Having users, even if it was supported in ifupdown,
netplan etc I'm still not sure I would do it just yet as it may be far
too unexpected for them.

I got a reply on Fedi basically to that effect, by someone who had
recently presented on the subject:

    https://wybt.net/@tfiebig/113213745122607112

    The issue are the routes; With netplan, I just set the route via
    puppet atm (you could use the funny netplan equivalent of post-up;
    Don't have it from the top of my head.)

    For ifupdown, it is just a 'skip the gateway and put the `ip -4
    route` statement into a post-up.

A reply to that showed how netplan triggers scripts, so both things
basically need external commands at the moment.

Thanks,
Andy
