I think the main issue here is that people are confused about what
network.target actually is/means.

For example this snippet is part of the original bug report:
  The file /lib/systemd/system/postfix@.service needs to have the line
  "After=network.target" to make sure that all the network interfaces are raised
  [...]

The above description is completely false!
This is *not* what network.target does/means!

For further explanation and suggestions for solutions see:
