It does matter. Why are you starting postfix if you have no network? You have plenty of use cases where boot speed is actually important.

  On a mail server, it is no great improvement to rapidly boot to a state where mail is not working.

    Obviously, this was just an example. If you're making an appliance, boot speed matters. If you're aiming for a fast desktop experience, boot speed matters.

    This probably hinges on how you define the word "great," but you can diagnose a nonfunctioning mail server a lot easier if it's actually booted up.
