What is the future of NM? >From the NM side, we're continuing the push that started a couple years ago to make NM a cooperative citizen by listening for external changes, by continuing to reduce the size and dependency set of the core NM daemon, and by making many previous dependencies optional (dbus-daemon, PolicyKit, interface-specific daemons). Many of these features already landed in NM 0.9.10, and many more are planned for NM 1.0. I cannot speak to the systemd plans, though NM is investigating the DHCP/IPv4LL library code (that was ported from ConnMan over to systemd) to replace dhclient/dhcpcd. My understanding is that systemd-networkd will never depend on external libraries or daemons, which somewhat limits the types of interfaces that it can work with.
