> I'm not sure if we can simply remove initscripts. There are files in
initscripts used by udev, systemd and some scripts other than network-
scripts.
Let's try it and see what breaks. On my test cloud instance, dhclient is
the only thing that currently requires initscripts. If anything else
requires it but doesn't say so, those packages should be fixed to either
not have the requirement or have an explicit dependency.
I haven't looked into it myself, but it's my understanding that systemd
has or will have its _own_ dhcp client, which raises some concerns about
compatibility testing but is also interesting on its own because on our
current cloud image, dhclient is by far the largest single memory
consumer. If systemd has a more lightweight dhcp client, that's a valuable
plus in itself.
> I left lines that deal with writing of ifcfg-* in the %post section,
because as I understand we are planning to keep those files. Since we are
planning to keep /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and current network
scripts depend on ifcfg-* files. But if not needed those lines can be
easily removed.
Yeah, I think we do want that. These files are used by a lot of software,
including, for example, Amazon's ec2-net-utils. And they're the common
language between initscripts and NetworkManager (and hopefully systemd)
