[PVE-User] Any plans to migrate to systemd-networkd?

Dear Proxmox team, hi all,


I stumbled across an article over at lwn.net:

Debating ifupdown replacements for Debian trixie

Debian does not have an official way to configure networking. Instead, it has four [1] recommended ways to configure 
networking, one of which is the venerable ifupdown [2], which has been part of Debian since the turn of the century and 
is showing its age. A conversation about its maintainability and possible replacement with ifupdown‑ng [3] has led to 
discussions about the default network-management tools for Debian "trixie" [4] (Debian 13, which is expected in 2025) 
and beyond. No route to consensus has been found, yet.

Having made good experiences with systemd-networkd on Debian, Rocky Linux and Arch Linux I was wondering whether Proxmox 
is working towards using systemd-networkd as the configuration tool in one of the next major versions?


Best,
