We have looked at and discussed various alternatives, in particular with the connman guys. However, none of the existing solutions seem amendable to what we want for the server/initrd, some are too simplistic and e.g. does not really allow for handling the global state that we will need, or compartmentalizes too much the different protocols/state machines, whilst others simply have a different focus (see Marcel's email in this thread as to why connman's focus is different from networkd's and why it makes sense to keep them separate).

Think of it like this, the system boots with networkd in initramfs and then you either start networkd for taking over the initramfs configuration and running in datacenter mode. Or you start ConnMan for running in desktop mode. It is a little bit over-simplified, but I think you get the basic idea.
