confused by "inactive dead" syslog.target on fedora 20

  just digging into systemd (so be prepared for several potentially
silly questions), and i was playing with some variations of listing
systemctl services, and i ran:

# systemctl list-units -t target --all

and everything looked fine other than this line:

syslog.target          not-found inactive dead   syslog.target

  at the moment, syslog is running fine as a *service*, it seems ok
... so what does it mean that "syslog.target" is classified as
inactive and dead?
