[continued from previous message] 
  
 There is the ID_NET_MANAGED_BY udev property proposal from systemd land 
 already if you haven't seen it yet. 
 Eg. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1108124#5 has more 
 links and dhcpcd has an upstream issue 
 https://github.com/NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd/issues/518. 
  
 I haven't decided yet if that really fits into ifupdown's constraints.

 Yeah, this is all work for Forky IMO. For now I just want to stop the 
 bleeding before more users try to migrate to dhcpcd-base and the broken 
 configs ossify.
