It turns out we don't actually need to set the global ip_forward setting.
The only relevant setting is the one on each interface.
What the global toggle actually does is swi
at least that's what the code does.

I didn't get any feedback last time[1], maybe this fell through the cracks?

After some more testing/thinking yesterday, I've decided to split this up and
only do the bugfix for now. At least on my machine the global ip_forward setting
is not needed, as long as all relevant interfaces have forwarding enabled.
I still dislike that the default for networkd managed interfaces

this inevitably leads to race conditions and also means that IPForward=yes on
one interface is equivalent to setting it on _every_ interface.
(except when it isn't, see below)
Suppose you have two networks
* /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
Address=1
