(In reply to Misi M�kus from comment #9) I never ever had challenged the pratical side of loosing the network and/or remote terminal connection due to a simple runlevel change! I do fully agree with your opinion that the system has to be usable! Nevertheless even if systemd does its job and is often the Bearer of evil tidings: this bug belongs not to systemd but to those who had ignored simple dependency rules and/or do not had tested out their changes. Compare with the tool make(1), if there is a broken dependency rule in the Makefile then it is not make which had caused the bug but the writer of the rule.
