Yeah, this would be great. This is what we are doing for machined and logind too now, where we store everything in /run all the time, and can then stop and start at any time without losing any information. I think we should follow this scheme wherever we can. This would be particularly useful when transitioning from the initrd to the main system, since the initrd's networkd could simply be terminated and be replaced by the host's version and still find everything.
