You mean that networked unlock feature? I mean, it's not always clear
what belongs and systemd and what does not. But outside of data
centers I am not sure tang/clevis really has much use, and that's
quite a limited userbase, so I'd say: no this should be done outside
of systemd. Maybe a plugin for libcryptsetup's "token" feature.
