[SOLVED] Why is wireguard-tools a dependency of libpve-network-perl?

[eXsoR]

I upgraded one of my hosts to PVE 9.1.0 today and noticed that it installed wireguard-tools, and when investigating why, it seems it's a dependency of libpve-network-perl. When looking at the release notes, I didn't see any mention of this. Is anyone aware why wireguard-tools is required?

Pull the package in as a Recommends so a fresh install with WireGuard fabrics configured just works, while users that only configure OSPF/OpenFabric (or no SDN at all) can remove it.

EDIT: I don't have an opinion on this dependency either way. I just managed to find the commit that added it with an explanation due to Proxmox being open source.

I greatly appreciate your input on this. I don't use or intend to use SDN at all, so I'm happy just removing it for now.

Its just the minimal tools binary. Wireguard is backed into the kernel anyway by default.
