No. Back in the bad old days of big Unix machines and mainframes we used power sequencers to bring physical bits of hardware up in order. This entire problem has now moved into the software space. With hardware, dependencies were painful, expensive and relied on lots of voodoo and dependency resolution. The same with software. Eventually the hardware manufacturers and the OS people got together and threw this out of the window. Now Linux is about to fail to learn from those mistakes like it failed to learn about audio subsystems, firewalls, network configuration, desktop environments, graphics architecture etc.
