There's at least ifupdown2 from Cumulus (also in Debian) that receive a very active development. Also, if ifupdown isn't receiving so much development, it's also because it's just working fine.

But let's fix things for now. Also, I don't think there's any OpenVSwitch integration in systemd, is there? I know that OVS works very well with ifupdown (it took so long to me to fix all the issues in the OVS package that I know it works now...). Thomas Goirand (zigo)
