Why should system/identity:node depend on network/profiled? Shouldn't there be a system identity configured for use very early in the boot process? Also, for diskless systems I propose that network/profiled be capable of detecting the current network profile when it starts since the network must be configured before network/profiled can possibly run in such circumstances.
