Run user scripts on up/down events. That's a huge blank spot in systemd-networkd. And by design, so it's really not fixable. Sure, we do have networkd-dispatcher but it's not quite the same. And "Somebody" would have to do a really huge job to create a complete automatic converter. I don't think that's worth the effort. But it's of course up to "Somebody" to decide how they want to spend their resources. Bjørn
