To answer this: the kernel network namespace thing PrivateNetwork= is
built on disconnects all address families at once. There's no choice to
only disassociate some address families, either all or none. (except for
the weirdness of AF_UNIX sockets in the fs namespace which stay
connectable as long as the fs is reachable, see feature page).
