[Networkmanager] Does "startup complete" imply connection activation?

[Andrei Borzenkov]

Yes, I know the nm-online manual :)

I recently helped in troubleshooting startup issues and was rather
surprised that NetworkManager reports "startup complete" before it
starts activating any connection.

Full log is here:

That is not the first time I see reports that
NetworkManager-wait-online was not enough. It sounds like it probably
should not be using "-s" in the first place.
