Hi,

AFAIK Rocky as a RedHat clone follows the path "only one tool for one task" and RHEL comitted to NetworkManager.

I can't find systemd-networkd in EPEL either, so yeah, seems like it's gone.

https://git.rockylinux.org/staging/rpms/systemd/-/blob/r10/SPECS/systemd.spec#L1006 specifies `-Dnetworkd=false` as well.
