You see, the problem is that systemd promised not needing to specify those dependencies in the first place, but then we have exactly the same stupid situation that we had with upstart, Gentoo's initsystem, or SysV init (sic!): sysadmin needs to manually tweak things to get the boot order right, only that none of the init systems (except with SysV init) can't tell you the boot order without rebooting your machine. And yes, sysadmin will still need to tweak things, because a distribution maintainers cannot predict all the possible dependencies between services. One could never forsee that Mailman would fail to run when OpenLDAP was stopped, and this is what I had in one place.
