Hello,

After a discussion with the current Netplan team, we've reached the
conclusion that we prefer the current behaviour of failing completely
rather than applying a partial configuration. Our decision is based on
several factors:

* The predictability of the system is greater: either it produces a full 
backend configuration, or none at all
* Partial application might actually break systems when applied directly via 
netplan apply. For instance, if the operator's SSH connection is routed through 
a bridge, and said bridge configuration is faulty, netplan apply will break the 
system, whereas an overall failure would leave the current configuration 
untouched.
* Operators are expected to test their configurations using netplan try and 
netplan apply, which should at least catch syntax issues before the reboot 
scenario.

Consequently, I'm marking this bug as WONTFIX.
