>From what I can tell so far, netplan is similar to network-manager, in
the sense that both can manage network, and both can be uninstalled
just fine (obviously with some functionality loss, but perfectly fine
for minimal server install running zfs + lxd). It was that way in
16.04 (the network-manager part, that is), and it's that way currently
in 18.04.

I find it hard to see ubuntu breaking that functionality on LTS
release. On the next releases, perhaps.

Of course, if you have a reference that says otherwise, do share the link.

Is there a link?

I know of the PPA deprecation (not ubuntu official repository, but the
ppa), i.e. https://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org/msg07938.html

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/ says apt with official repo
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html also says apt
(although to be fair, the page hierarcy starts with 'ubuntu 18.04',
but the page content still has 16.04)
