Only temporarily.

True.  But the time to deal with that is when you discover another
network was plugged in, not when the original network is unplugged.

I'm glad you don't control the network stack on my machines.  (Nitpick:
even that doesn't actually make ssh persist.  All it renders persistent
is the shell, and things run under it, on the remote machine.  It also
assumes the remote machine _has_ something like tmux or screen, which
may not be the case.)
