For future reference, a highly impactful issue in something we're about to release (even if optional or esoteric) is absolutely something SRMs want to know about in the week ahead. It doesn't have to be a drama, just please draw our attention to it so we can keep an eye on developments. We would rather know and disregard than not know at all. > as this is just a > minor issue with a particular corner case of a custom config of an > optional component.

If the upstream test case is correct, the broken configuration looks very much like example #6 in systemd.network(5). There are no warnings that this might be experimental or unsupported. systemd-networkd is called out as "The modern network configuration without GUI" in the Debian reference. VLAN-aware bridges are absolutely a common production use in dense environments. A reasonable user would expect this to work without issue. Whether you intended it or not you're now maintaining a critical component for a lot of people in a production scenario. > The next stable update in ~2 > months will contain a fix. I think we need an accelerated stable-updates fix much sooner than that please. The upstream patch is one line.
