It also means things like NTP don't start, and if you were relying on them to get the clock right as soon as possible, it's not going to happen. I don't know if NTP will start working when a network becomes available, now. I haven't got around to testing that. But it certainly didn't used to. It'd quit and stay dead if the network was a notwork, when NTP tried to start up. Other things configured by DHCP don't work, either, if theres no network brought up. I can see some use in being *able* to give individual users specific networking conditions, but that's contrary to how the rest of Linux network has worked, and what we're used to.
