Not a big deal.
yes, it seems a bit tricky, since we'd have to predict what ifupdown2 is doing - but with the current speed of ifupdown2 development, I'm not sure if VXLAN IPv6 support will land anytime soon. There's a similar PR open though in the ifupdown2 github [1]. Since there is currently discussion about moving away from ifupdown2 on debian-devel [2] [3] and the point of contention is not really about IF they will be moving away from ifupdown2 but rather WHAT the replacement will be, we could support our implementation (with possible compatibility patches) while we move to a new network stack. > BTW, I don't have followed the ifupdown-ng project since a long time. > (just follow the early days).

Judging from the current discussion on debian-devel, ifupdown-ng doesn't seem to be a candidate for the Debian network stack moving forward. There's some heated discussion between netplan and systemd-networkd, with some (from my perception) preference for systemd-networkd so we'll be monitoring that closely for our trixie release. I'll test this series a bit this week and report back. Would you be interested in sending a v2 afterwards? (particularly wrt to the perl style issues). Otherwise I can also take this patch series over. in any case, have you signed a CLA with us already? Otherwise we cannot include your patches in our repositories.
