Hm, I probably wouldn't worry too much. Jessie is already really old and
bullseye (for which the change is targetted) will not be released for
yet another year.
Then again, I don't know if it's an important use-case for admins to be
able to run jessie containers on a bullseye host.

The networkd test is flaky sometimes. I've seen it fail occasionally.
Can you reliably reproduce the failure with this setup?

Michael

P.S.: Thanks for your ongoing efforts regarding the cgroupv2 switch.
This is very much appreciated.
What are your thoughts regarding doing the switch? Are we there yet
(once lxc v4 enters testing)? For me lxc is the main blocker and we
probably can't wait for docker (I would document that in the release
notes / NEWS entry instead what docker users can do)
