[systemd-devel] networking services management idea

Unless the services take long to start, you'll have a much better time
with socket activation. With socket activation, the service won't just
wait until network availability to come online; the service will wait
until an actual request to come online.

Also check out my other posts to the mailing list about network
availability levels and service management.

This is applicable only for incoming. He cleverly mentions outgoing services that will query the network, such as updaters (packages, usb ids?, security announcements), ntp
 
I like his idea pretty much, but not sure if it would need anything other than what is in systemd now. Just provide the target names so it's default/agreed?
