-# See systemd.network(5) for a description of KeepConfiguration. We make this
-# change here because the default behavior of systemd-networkd starting in
-# Ubuntu 20.04 is to release a DHCP lease upon stopping systemd-networkd (even
-# in the context of a restart). The impact of this is that the system's
-# default route and IP address are removed, and then added back again when the
-# service is started back up, resulting in a brief loss of network
-# connectivity. Delphix, being a critical piece of infrastructure, cannot
-# afford brief loss of connectivity. We thus change the KeepConfiguration
-# setting so that systemd-networkd does not release the lease on stop.
