+
+This will be useful to assert that our static route configuration always
+happens after address configuration once our individual configure state
+goes away.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/3] networkd: Use only a generic CONFIGURING state
+
+This allows us to convey that we are performing multiple link
+configuration changes in parallel. This is needed to support configuring
+neighbors while simultaneously configuring addresses and routes.

+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] networkd: Static neighbor support
+
+When using networkd we currently have no way of ensuring that static
+neighbor entries are set when our link comes up. This change adds a new
+section to the network definition that allows multiple static neighbors
+to be set on a link.
