FWIW, I agree with all that. Just tried to point out that automatic conversion will be hard. And probably not very useful. Many of the old ifupdown configs should be redone and re-thought rather than reimplemented. There are most likely better ways to do much of it, using the new possibilities you get with NM and systemd-networkd. Bjørn
