This is the way wicked and NetworkManager work too. Otherwise it is unknown which service handles the network.
The upstream NetworkManager package does not have that Alias, it is instead a SUSE-specific patch that adds said Alias= line. wicked is a SUSE-produced (open)SUSE-specific (only used there) software, as well.
The systemd-networkd.service file must contain an alias to network.service.
I do not think it does, and I do not think NM or wicked should, either. Networking does not have to consist of a single service. A service which wants networking should Wants=network.target (or network-online.target). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
