Well, to play the anti-$DEITY advocate, you may also say that parallelizing helps you discover bugs in the dependencies that you otherwise never would. I have run fedora with systemd for a while, and I was able to make the boot wicked fast. But it wasn't automatic, not due to systemd itself but due to packages like NetworkManager doing incredibly wasteful things by default. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
