There are various uses of the service that do not need a DHCP client,
like the one I referred to in the bug report and FESCo ticket. Heck,
you can kinda *assume* anyone still using the service at this point is
doing something weird with it, not just a 'normal' "bring up this
interface for me with DHCP" kinda thing.
The removal of the network service should still be treated as its own
significant operation, not a natural consequence of the removal of
dhclient.
The System-V scripts are also deprecated since systemd v254 so
eventually they'll be going away too:
