+But so far, this is not supported. And since we have said we do not
+remove non systemd from Mageia 2
+( https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2011-July/006701.html ) ,
+I think we cannot take systemd for granted before mageia 3. 
+
+And precisely, because we are not gonna keep only systemd for mageia 2,
+we cannot depreciate network script.

+Would we have too much ressources, maybe. But so far, there is already
+enough work on http://check.mageia.org/ to keep people busy, and I do
+not really see the need to add more breakage and shiny stuff when we are
+far from being able to take care of what we already have.
