I'd also add 3) It requires Python and various Python libraries. At
least the CLI tool does.
In some circumstances installing Python and a bunch of libraries is not
going to be a big issue (e.g., in desktop installs), but for many server
installations that is an unnecessary new burden.
(To be fair, Lukas opened his email stating that for minimal
installations sd-netwokd is a more fitting alternative. I just wanted to
explicitly mention one reason supporting that statement.)
