TODO list is getting both longer and shorter, though longer on
average.
-DONE 1) rename config.environment as .filesystem. and add module
-types for it

2) perhaps we shouldn't use process-based services like [ou]dhcp as
queryable endpoint for interface addresses (e.g. when adding routes).
Instead have a separate service for interface address that depends on

Found the cause of huge image size: rp-pppoe ships with scripts that
reference build-time packages, so we have x86-64 glibc in there

+We don't need syslog just to accommodate ppp, there's an underdocumented
