Complicated? https://lwn.net/Articles/701549/ If you have time, read the first two articles mentioned early on.

All the problems with NFS dependencies described in the article existed before. The system administrator was supposed to address them manually by ordering things in rc files adding sometimes various sleep pauses to wait for things to start.

Systemd allowed to solve them in a reliable way at the distribution level with no need for the system administrator to do anything beyond providing the exports and fstab entries.
