The systemd default config is OK; if I'm not mistaken, Allan manually enabled both NM and dhcpcd (and, at the time, wicd and dhcpcd). There is no (reasonable) way for systemd to know that this is broken; if you enable both apache2 and lighttpd, without using socket activation, the one that starts second will fail since the first one will grab port 80. Again, nothing that systemd (nor OpenRC, nor any other init system) can do about it.
