It might be *possible* to add a "can you find a serialized > ordering for this target?" feature to systemd, but no one has. I think I meant system. But both the kernel and systemd seem to use multi-threading intrinsically. I think systemd has to have some sort of task ordering, or it couldn't function, since there *are* ordering dependencies during boot. They are probably just fuzzy, though. And there are things like the wait on network task to try to protect against out of order start.
