Writing too fast... you were actually arguing for a situation "2 used by
default + 1 used but not used by default" I think.  In that case your
argument is right but it's my turn to not accept your premise :)  networkd
was introduced in systemd-209, and F20 ships with -208,  I.e. it has never
shipped in a Fedora release, so it is not "1 used but not used by default";
it's entirely new to Fedora *in F21*.
