Which would be a good usecase for signals (until kdbus happens, which might
take some time)

In an ideal world, kdbus will be the perfect solution, but at the moment,
the few signals mentioned would immediately solve some serious limitations
of systemd-networkd.

Also, in the future, having 2 ways to do the same thing might be a good
thing, especially for something as important as networking (ex: in case
some distribution do not want to use kdbus, or waits a while to implement
it, and in the meantime has to use weird hack. signals could lessen the
pain)
