Looks like systemd-networkd-wait-online.service is disabled by default
in Fedora.
Given that there are packages that require all IP addresses to be
configured, and thus declare a dependency on network-online.target, it
does not seem logical for NetworkManager, if installed, to not enable
this if this was, indeed, the issue.
If the packaging guidelines are for a package dependency on
network-online.target, and especially if NetworkManager is installed
by default – as it is, then it seems wrong not to have this enabled by
default.
Would boot be slowed down (by 30s?) if you switch to systemd-networkd
for network management and "NetworkManager-wait-online.service" is
enabled?
