Comment (by mattdm):

 Replying to [comment:30 gospo]:
 > Sorry, but I miss why we would want to use the legacy files used by
 initscipts for networkd?  If we are concerned about the ability to migrate
 from networkd to NM we should probably consider a plug-in for NM to read
 networkd files.

 Many people are used to these files being *the* Fedora (and Red Hat
 distribution family) way to configure network interfaces. Their Puppet
 modules and Chef recipies work this way. In fact, the upstream code
 includes modules that understand this format natively. Tools like ec2-net-
 utils do too. All of our existing documentation talks about these files.
 And, it's already a common language between initscripts and Network
 Manager.

 I don't think we would be doing anyone any favors by making Fedora a
 special case. In the future, if systemd-networkd becomes common and native
 tool support is widespread, it'll be easy to transition people.

 In the future
