It makes a big difference to me when working with multiple hosts at
once. I will only get back my shell after a manual action or after
waiting for the host to return to the network to finally send an RST.

It happened reliably in so many cases that I don't even remember the
last time where a sysvinit system didn't return me cleanly and quickly
to my shell on shutdown. It was a big WTF when my first systemd system
behaved that way.
If sysvinit were so unreliable in its behavior on shutdown, I would
have been at least a bit familiar with the "new" behavior, and I do
not like it at all.
This change will not improve systemd's behavior, as it is one more
place where the self-proclaimed "drop-in replacement to sysvinit"
changes system behavior in a _very_ prominent way.

jftr, I see the changed behavior as a problem.
