--- Comment #5 from Lennart Poettering <lennart at poettering.net> ---
Well, we will not lose ourselves in trying to come up with way too generic hook
points. We can certainly add some, but you have to make very good, very
specific requests for them. And I am pretty sure I have no interest in adding
more hook points for the networking mess, this is already too complex:

We really have to strike the balance here between being generic and being to
complex. And complexity starts already with dumping too many unused and weakly
defined unit names on them. We shouldn't add all kinds of targets people
*might* use one day. Also, it's not sufficient if only very specific setups
need it, with systemd upstream we want to cover the general purpose cases.

Anyway, to keep this short: please make very specific, concise requests about
additional targets and we will consider them.
