A trivial example is $remote_fs isn't satisfied until /srv/somewhere is
mounted and /srv/somewhere comes off iscsi, which means it requires
networking to be up, which means network drivers loaded, etc. So the
event «network driver loaded» causes ifup to be spawned, which causes
$network to be satisfied which causes the iscsi daemons to be started
which causes mount to be called.
