Given that we require it for default NetworkManager configurations now, there's not a lot of value in making that complicated. Splitting has a cost too, in the form of extra metadata, upgrade paths, etc. Moreover, *all* Fedora variants use NetworkManager. *ALL* OSTree variants, as shipped today, *MUST* use NetworkManager. NetworkManager's configuration will use resolved as a local resolver. Anything baked into an OSTree cannot be removed anyway. And like it or not, all our legacy network configuration mechanisms are deprecated and *will be removed eventually*. Literally the only reason networkd was split out was because Fedora CoreOS was chainsawing it out at image build time and making it impossible for people to use it. To be frank, I do not want more permutations this low in the stack. It makes life incredibly difficult for figuring out working network setups. My reply was aimed at Peter saying he'd like to not ship resolved, and I'm saying that we should *not* do that, because it makes things even harder and more complicated. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
