restarting or stopping /etc/init.d/networking seems completely harmless
to me under systemd (well, other than the intended effect of causing all
services depending on a network connection to stop working, obviously).
It doesn't tear down the loopback interface nor restarts D-Bus or
anything like that, so I'm inclined to say that this works as intended
now.

So I close this now, but if you see any problems with this, please
reopen. Thanks!

Title:
  [systemd] Support networking restart?

Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Previously the consensus was that we don't support restarting the
  networking service (due in part to events/upstart work).   (See
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1072518/comments/45
  for the end result)

  Is it supported now with systemd (15.04)?  The biggest (for the
  average user) drawback previously was that it would bring down the
  entire desktop thanks to dbus<->networking events.  The biggest issue
  for server admins is that it might not bring up interfaces in the same
  way as during boot.

  Systemd:
  $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
  [ ok ] Restarting networking (via systemctl): networking.service.

  sudo service networking restart

  Upstart: both were disabled.

  If it's isn't supported, I think we need to disable them both again,
  and recommend using ifup/down like previously.

  If it is supported(-able) now, I'm happy to do a QA pass on it.. (and
  we'll have some happier customers/users come 16.04)
