** Description changed:

  Ubuntu Core 16 images using cloud-init fail to function when the
  DataSource is over the network (Like OpenStack) as networking is not yet
  available when cloud-init.service runs.
  
  cloud-init service unit deps look like this:
  
  [Unit]
  Description=Initial cloud-init job (metadata service crawler)
  DefaultDependencies=no
  Wants=cloud-init-local.service
  Wants=local-fs.target
  Wants=sshd-keygen.service
  Wants=sshd.service
  After=cloud-init-local.service
  After=networking.service
  Requires=networking.service
  Before=basic.target
  Before=dbus.socket
  Before=network-online.target
  Before=sshd-keygen.service
  Before=sshd.service
  Before=systemd-user-sessions.service
  Conflicts=shutdown.target
  
  Here's networkd unit deps:
  
  [Unit]
  Description=Network Service
  Documentation=man:systemd-networkd.service(8)
  ConditionCapability=CAP_NET_ADMIN
  DefaultDependencies=no
  # dbus.service can be dropped once on kdbus, and systemd-udevd.service can be
  # dropped once tuntap is moved to netlink
  After=systemd-udevd.service dbus.service network-pre.target 
systemd-sysusers.service systemd-sysctl.service
  Before=network.target multi-user.target shutdown.target
  Conflicts=shutdown.target
  Wants=network.target
  
  # On kdbus systems we pull in the busname explicitly, because it
  # carries policy that allows the daemon to acquire its name.
  Wants=org.freedesktop.network1.busname
  After=org.freedesktop.network1.busname

  And a critical-chain output:

  The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@"

+ SRU INFORMATION FOR systemd
+ ===========================
+ Fix: For xenial it is sufficient to drop systemd-networkd's 
After=dbus.service (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/5f004d1e32)
+ 
+ Regression potential: Low. networkd is not widely being used outside of 
netplan/snappy in xenial. Running it before dbus.service is running has two 
consequences:
+  - It cannot immediately expose its D-Bus status interface. But it will retry 
every 5 s until that succeeds, so the D-Bus status interface will continue to 
work. (see test case)
+  - If a DHCP response with a hostname or timezone is received before 
dbus.service is running, it cannot talk to systemd-hostnamed/systemd-timedated 
to set these properties (if enabled). However, this is broken in xenial anyway 
as it fails on polkit permissions (this and retrying this configuration after 
D-Bus is up has been fixed in upstream master now).
+ 
+ Test case:
+  - Install nplan, set up a netplan configuration and remove 
/etc/network/interfaces.
+  - Upgrade to the proposed packages.
+  - Ensure that the network is still functional and "busctl" shows 
org.freedesktop.network1, i. e. networkd successfully connected to the bus.
+  - Check if systemd-networkd.service starts before dbus.service; if not, you 
can force it with "sudo systemctl edit systemd-networkd.service" and 
+    [Unit]
+    Before=sysinit.target
+ 
+   (This is effectively what cloud-init.service will do soon.)
