Unfortunately, the Wikipedia page says "In version 209, networkd was integrated", so the "monolithic monster" raises its ugly head, perhaps due to nothing more than misleading wording?
Depends what you mean by "integrated". My understanding is that systemd in no way requires systemd-networkd. I am not using systemd-networkd on any of my boxes. It is possible that systemd-networkd requires systemd. If this is the case, it will be because it requires services that have not been implement elsewhere - I would assume systemd-shim is the correct place to implement these services. In Debian, the systemd-networkd is provided by the systemd package. Maybe this is what the wikipedia page calls "Integrated"? I think it is possible to install the systemd package and not use systemd, however this isn't something that interests me personally. I am not a systemd developer however, so don't take my word for it. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
