A lot of knowledgeable people hate systemd, and I start suspecting that they have good reasons for that. However, it's extremely hard to get a good list of related substantiated facts about systemd in order to convince a larger community. If you encounter something specific, please write some kind of article about it.

So, it's 12 days later and we upgraded Debian stable on our production DFZ BGP routers.

Result: systemd-networkd in a restart loop continuously consuming 100% CPU. None of the systemd restart-limiting options are being applied. The only message in the log is "Could not enumerate links: Connection timed out".

It's not a strong data point, but it's a data point. I did say "death by a thousand cuts". There's enough of these to sum up.

To add insult to injury, I'm relatively sure systemd-networkd was disabled before the update, but I can't easily confirm that.

You're right in that I should really be able to back my position up better. I don't know if/when a situation where I have to deal with the systemd network components will come up though :/

Even if you would get such a list it would be dismissed anyway, because 'works on my machine'. Eg: see a sibling response to the OP.
