Which would mean modifying each and every service that is not needed to
start X. And then think about the work it entails if you have multiple
priorities: 1: sshd, 2: X, 3: mirror, 4: chroots, 5: buildd, ...
This needs to be something simple. Something where the user just
specifies what is important and the init-thingy rearanges all the
prerequisites automatically to achieve this.

Is it? I know I can put Filesystems into different groups and groups ar
checked one after another. But that only partially helps. But running
fsck seriously degrades the performance of the other partitions on the
same disk. How do I make unimportant filesystems wait till the startup
of important things is done?
And again, this should idealy be automatic. Systemd has the potential
for this.
