How about this?
"Single user mode" means "only one user is able to log on". If a user is
already logged on via the network and you go to single user mode, that
connection may or may not be closed. Unless the network is being brought
down, you can't be sure that "single user mode" is really what the name
says it is.

Of course not. But "99% of the other distributions I've seen does it that
way" may be...
And I believe most distributions indeed do it this way.
OTOH, why would networking be interesting in single user mode in the first
place? I really can't think of a good reason why you would need networking
in single user mode...
