My look on the whole situation is actually that these targets are
stopgaps in a world where not all daemons are socket activatable and
where some daemons are written in a way that they assume that the
network is always up and does not change dynamically.

In a world where where all services are socket activatable and all
daemons subscribe properly to netlink we don't need neither
syslog.target nor network.target, because the syslog daemon is always
accessible and it doesn't matter anymore when the network is configured
and when not.
