The imds services are (very-) early boot services, ordered before sysinit.target. OTOH, network-online.target is something that is often established very late [1]. In fact, we always recommended to _not_ depend on it for things that are ordered before the usual targets that allow user logins (e.g. graphical.target). So we certainly cannot add early-boot ordering for it. Currently systemd-imds-imports.service is conditionalized to only run in the initrd. But if the unit is enabled in the host system, it would affect the transaction there, so we should drop this bogus ordering everywhere. (I think this might have been added by mistake. After all, systemd-imds-import.service itself shouldn't care about the network.) This fixes boot ordering issues reported upstream and in Fedora [2, 3].
