only the journal is a required additional feature of systemd, and you can set it up to not store anything and just forward to your syslog/rsyslog/... you don't need to use systemd-networkd, it's a separate program - but it's better than debians /etc/network/intefaces adn RH /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/if* - so I do welcome the consolidation it'll bring to distros. you can still run normal cron you don't need to run the kms console daemon either
