--- Comment #9 from Zbigniew Jedrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek at in.waw.pl> ---
network-pre.target means "network prerequisites" as much as "before network".
This name is good because it follows the general naming, and we can easy have a
number of such targets (remote-fs-pre, network-pre, cryptsetup-pre, ...). This
is good because there's an established pattern and there isn't an additional
name to remember. Also, it stays in the realm of systemd dependency language.

OTOH, systemd cannot really make any promises that the network is secure, even
after network-secured.target has been reached. *That* is something that we
don't to do.

I see some merit in adding a firewall.target, with the meaning "firewall has
been configured". This would provide a measure of interchangedness between
various firewall configuration mechanisms. Would that work for you?
