+libnm-systemd-core
+==================
+
+This is a fork of systemd source files that are compiled
+as a static library with network helpers.
+
+We use systemd's DHCPv6 and LLDP library, by forking their code.
+
+We also still use their DHCPv4 library, but that is about to be replaced
+by nettools' n-dhcp4 and not used unless you configure the undocumented
+`[main].dhcp=systemd` plugin.
+
+This approach of code-reuse is very cumbersome, and we should replace
+systemd code by a proper library (like [nettools](https://github.com/nettools/)).
+
+We should not use systemd directly from our sources, beyond what
+we really need.
