Hey, that's me!

I *think* what I want is control over network interfaces.  Something
along the lines of

(service network-interface-service-type
  "eth0"
  (network-interface-configuration
    (dhcp? #f)
    (ipv4 '("10.1.1.1/24" "172.16.30.4/22"))
    (ipv6 '(...))
    (routes4 '(("default" . "10.1.1.254")))
    (routes6 '(...))
    (requirement '(vswitchd))))

Ideally, this service would extend "network-route-service-type" and
"network-address-service-type" so that one could compose configurations
from other services too.  E.g. a custom VPN service that extends
network-route-service-type.

Food for thought...  :-)
