Sure it does. In order to do anything, you have to run programs -- right? And where do those programs come from -- a filesystem, right? And what if that filesystem is not local, but mounted via NFS? So, you need a way to bootstrap the early parts of networking before mounting the later filesystems.The point of the barrier scripts is to provide simple dependencies to other scripts. In particular, NETWORKING should represent a fully-functional network, including any routing or multicast routing that is normally used on this network. It does not, in itself, depend on any filesystems. (It runs no programs itself, so why would it?)
