Hi


I understand, and agree that it makes sense for systemd.

networkd will still fail, at bit later.



With this change, libsystemd-network might handle systems without
machine-id file -- as long as the user cares and sets an alternative
DUID via  sd_dhcp6_client_set_duid().

That is interesting for NetworkManager.
