Package: systemd Version: 230-5pitti1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
since a few months, systemd upstream tries to implement parts of IPv6 inside systemd/networkd while we have perfectly working code inside the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, the systemd code is wrong in so many places that it literally takes days to diagnose the new misbehavior-of-the-day, making it necessary to build complex test labs or to break existing productive systems just to find out what is wrong in systemd's IPv6 code this week. Nevertheless, upstream has decided to make this new code mandatory, making it necessary for distributions to derive patches to disable the misbehavior. This takes, again, valuable developer time. Please convince upstream to implement a run-time switch to revert to the kernel IPv6 code just in case a system actually needs working IPv6. It would be so much easier to help upstream to develop reliable code if switching back and forth between kernel and user space code was not so damn hard. Greetings Marc
