Booting a VM on such servers is nearly instaneous despite still using shell scripts for network :-) Anyway I do favor migrating to systemd. As for NM, if we don't want to maintain both drakx-net & NM, we'll have to work. I can help, but we'll need someone on the NM side: - what parts of NM to integrate into stage2 - how to integrate drakx-net code with NM
