Maybe you should go and check what NM can do today before writing it off
or before thinking systemd-networkd will be mature in the short term.

There is a very good reason why it took time for NM to become really
usable on servers, and that's because exotic network configurations are
fiendishly difficult to describe and manage.
And the exotic configurations are found on servers.

So by all means, let's watch what happens with systemd-networkd, but at
the moment it is not something I would base my work on.

Simo.
