Hi guys, and Jouke in particular,
In case any netctl developers have not yet seen/heard about networkd, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about it.
networkd is an (at the moment) very basic network solution for statically configured networks, and probably shares some usecases with netctl. It will ship with systemd v209.
I wrote a bit about the background/status on G+: https://plus.google.com/+TomGundersen/posts/bDQCP5ZyQ3h (there are a few more posts with more details). If any of you have any feedback, or would like to contribute, let me know.
Cheers,

Hello Tom
Thanks for the very good :)
Is there any intention to supoort, in a future, the IP= kernel command line parameter? This is used for PXE in initramfs stage.
We definitely want to support networking in the initramfs. I must admit I don't know much about PXE, but the ip= syntax, seems like a natural thing to support (similarly to how we support other kernel parameters like root=, etc). I suppose we could simply ship a generator in our initramfs which would parse the kernel commandline and write out an /run/systemd/network/00-cmdline.network. This would likely also support more advanced stuff than the ip= parameter as it is needed by stuff like dracut (so Harald is interested in that). Note that we don't yet support all the features ip= need, in particular we don't do anything about dns yet. Cheers, Tom
