   - ipv4ll with multiple interfaces doesn't work when both dhcp and

     ipv4ll is used. for some reasons the kernel will currently pick an

     ipv4ll source address to reach non-ipv4ll gateways.

-  - dhcp and ipv4ll should probably be skipped for "lo" devices, even

-    if the user has a catchall .network file installed, that might

-    theoretically match it.

   - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when

     a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.

   - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
