That rarely happens in server environments. I wonder how much of the recent debates about init systems is caused by the the rise of mobile consumer devices and developers' desire to cater to them.
I care when my laptop takes more than a few seconds to start up, but I really don't care when one of my cloud servers takes a few minutes to start up. Network not ready yet? Meh, we could just sleep(10) and try again.
