So it is the classical desktop vs. server situation. For my Debian
servers, that get booted at most once a month, I don't give a damn
about a faster boot.
I _do_ care, however, about not having migrations in the boot process
which has the potential of breaking a system reboot, possibly making
it necessary to obtain a means to access the console in case of
breakage.
