I know you didn't say it was your opinion. You said it was objectively worse. You said:

> What is objectively worse than buggy networking in systemd is having 26 different incompatible ways to configure networking in Linux.

and I think it's pretty clear people have experiences where systemd-network malfunctions in places where a rc.local (one of those 26 incompatible ways) works fine.

That is not objectively worse. So it's only your opinion.

You can fix your own bugs.

Do not confuse some fantasy future version of systemd that has had people like me work on it to make it better, despite its many many issues, with the rc.local script that exists today: Only one of these has a chance of existing.
