We asked our self the same questions, and alternatives exists even from the embedded camp [1] which often comes close to the server use case. Even if [1] does not have a Dbus interface, they at least share the same Idea of a RPC interface (Ubus) and have the building blocks for handling more complex interface setups like bridging, bonding, VLAN etc. We have worked with guys a lot but building a bridge between the embedded folks and the dbus camp is not so easy if it comes to small routers... But for my own records, what is so bad on the existing approach in [1]? anybody checked it while considering to develop systemd-networkd?
