The only potential side-effect is if the PCMCIA scripts depend on some
other service that would ordinarily start before them but, after this
move, would start later.
To the best of my knowledge this is not the case (as the PCMCIA services
have no external dependencies), but if things do go wrong you can
usually resolve the matter by adjusting service startup orders in one
way or another.
