The problem is that the dictionary definition is in conflict with our implementation. Probably a different name should have been selected (boot-goal.target or so), anyway that ship has sailed. Also, the proposed behavior that I am talking about is explicitly documented in systemd.special man page. So the current state is clearly a bug from my PoV. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/man/systemd.special.xml#L242 Cheers, Michal
