Not entirely sure I understand the question, but this is what I have in mind: we support three config sources at the moment: stuff in /lib which is shipped by packages, stuff in /etc that is provided by the admin and is persistent between reboots and stuff in /run which is lost on reboot. Our future API should have a switch allowing the config we apply to either be persistent (written out to /etc) or ephemeral (written out to /run), so that any config in networkd is backed by a config file somewhere. Does that make sense? Does it answer your question, or is there some other type of config you would like to write out?
