We can probably keep some compatibility (like the sysvinit/systemd
duality).

What is the issue with ifplugd and NM?
If NM is used for an interface, ifplugd should not be started for the
same interface. What's actually happening?

If you have 5 wifi networks configured, wpa_supplicant is normally able
to automatically select the right one at boot, and it used to work for
me. What happens in your case?
