For nfs-server and the risk of applying the fix to stable releases, this
is my take:

It won't break anything unless you've done something truly esoteric, and
then you're on your own anyway IMHO.

It will enable nfs-server to consistently start in configurations using
static addressing, which is NOT esoteric or strange IMHO, regardless of
the startup time of your NIC/switchport/etc. It will make startup
consistent, which is currently not the case if your NIC is just slow
enough to start to sometime trigger name resolve failures depending on
how lucky you were when rebooting the machine.

The current behavior is unwanted, and while the fix was present in
Ubuntu once upon a time (pre-systemd releases and wily I think), it has
since gone missing so this is really a regression that's lingered longer
than necessary.
