        Thanks.  Just checking....

        It would be good if there was a way to specify that the service
        had to have completed before milestone/multi-user.

        I expect it to be configured enabled by default as it's purpose
        to load some configuration into the kernel that should really
        be done before multi-user.  When the kernel can read service
        properties, I'd expect this service to be removed and the
        kernel subsystem initialization to read and set the values.
        I'd expect it would be dependent on manifest-import ;-)
        I expect I've just missed finding where this is documented.

Gary..
