Hopefully (open)SUSE will have enough courage to build and package upcoming systemd packages with the equivalent of "--without-network".
I really hope it does not, I hope it embraces the rest of the ecosystem instead of yet another distribution specific tool like this wicked thing.
It is probably clear by now that I strongly object to the approach you are taking, but since I believe that systemd-networkd will ultimately prevail against competing solutions for a number of reasons, I will rest my case and let reality impose itself.
Good luck.
Let's be honest, the begin of systemd was a clusterfuck. It took more than a year before it became something that approached usefullness, and still today there are niches where systemd should work (as documented) and is just no good at all. And into this (still) minefield you want to put in another "feature" ?? I dare to say that SLE will not touch systemd-networkd until at least one RHEL release with it is out for 6 month minimum. Common sense and all. Until that time is come we all need a working solution and "wicked" seems much more ready to step in. IPv6, bridging, bonding, vpn, vlan are keywords here. More interesting will be the upcoming debates about filtering: IPtables vs. NFtables (start with Linux Kernel 3.12) Hopefully the YaST guys will get a early start here. - Yamaban.
