I have no idea, but it is a real pain.  I'm using Linux Mint 14 and 
15[which are based on Ubuntu] on 2 older desktops, 1 new desktop, and one 
recent laptop.  All of them work perfectly fine on both my wired network 
and the wireless network without the failsafe function - so I don't think 
it will cause any major issues.


Don't forget to disable bootchart after you have finished using it for 
troubleshooting!  Under certain conditions, it will continue running and 
logging even after bootup.  My recollection is that bootchart will only 
stop logging when gdm starts running - so if your not running x-windows on 
bootup, it will run forever[or in my case, if your running a downstream 
distribution based on ubuntu which uses it's own logon manager in place of 
gdm!].  After a few days of running, it filled up /var/log with useless 
data and caused weird issues.   A better "solution" would of course be to 
modify the control scripts to modify the "finished booting" checks to match 
your system configuration - but I was too lazy to do that when I could 
simply disable it and not worry.
