I don't care that it's blocking. Rebooting and entering the rescue target requires altering the Grub menuentry, which is more work, less convenience and slightly risky.
I guess I just don't like undocumented behaviour, or behaviour that contradicts documentation. According to the documentation,
systemctl rescue is the same as
systemctl isolate rescue.target, and
isolate means that services that are not in the rescue target should be stopped. This doesn't happen.
So yes I am complaining, but perhaps there is really something that I don't understand correctly.
