Comment (by mhayden):

 Kushal and I talked about this proposal in detail at Flock for the cloud
 images.  While it's great for server devices that aren't going to be
 moving around often, it's not ideal for laptops or desktops that change
 their physical location frequently.  NetworkManager makes a lot more sense
 there.

 I spoke with zbyszek about improving the documentation around systemd-
 networkd as well.  Much of the documentation is very focused and doesn't
 speak to full use cases where you're creating multiple .netdev and
 .network (and perhaps .link) files.

 With that said, I've been using systemd-networkd instead of NetworkManager
 on 10-20 production cloud instances, over 250 hypervisors, and several
 other physical systems since Fedora 21.  Other than the bonding
 shenanigans (fixed in systemd 216), I haven't seen any issues.
