You'll notice that I was replying to Neal's question and talking about
networkd, I think it's pretty clear when I say "it configures the network".

No, it's not fully implemented and nobody is recommending it for

all moot: it is not enabled by default and is not started unless
explicitly configured. It is provided so early adopters can give
it a spin.
