 It might be useful to put together a variant of the kickstart file used to
 produce the current cloud image which uses systemd-networkd for eth0
 instead of initscripts. See https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-
 kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-cloud-base.ks and basically search for
 "network" for parts that might need to be changed.

 Then, you should be able to feed that kickstart file into ImageFactory (or
 appliance-creator) and get a qcow2 image we can test.

 I suppose that someone should file an RFE for systemd to have a
 "generator" (that's a typical systemd construct) for handling legacy ifcfg
 files (as above), and to create the ifup/ifdown compatibility scripts.
 Most ideally, someone will contribute that as patches to systemd upstream,
 because code always speaks louder than wishes :) but, just explaining what
 we need is a good start.
