But in the "good old days" sysconfig ifcfg-scripts were exactly this: bash scripts. They basically needed ifplugd to do stuff like "cable hotplug detection". Wicked, OTOH is compiled (C or C++?) code which could implement the ifplugd functionality easily in the wicked daemons which are running anyway. Just like NetworkManager is doing since its beginning. Resorting to starting an extra daemon, its code being more than 10 years unmaintained, to handle cable hotplug is an -- how do I write it politely -- ... "strange" design decision. I fully agree that it would make more sense if wicked did implement the functionality itself. After all, it doesn't run ip or ethtool either and talks to the kernel instead.

E-h-h ... could someone show where wicked is using ifplugd? To my best knowledge nanny is responsible for monitoring interfaces for carrier and configuring interfaces. And it does not rely on ifplugd. I have take a look in the sources and I erred. Wicked does not use ifplugd. So it can be dropped without losing functionality.
