In my opinion, I don't think the extra inconsistency we get from this is
worth it. It literally only saves one line in a unit file.
It's not about saving a line in the unit file, it's about avoiding
errors on the most common case
i.e if A Requires B, you would expect failures of B to prevent A from
starting.
* This is not the case if B is (randomly) scheduled after A.
* This is the case if B is (randomly) scheduled before A.
This is the race the implicit After= would prevent.
That being said... the fact that Requires influences both startup and
restart/shutdown makes things a
bit more complicated...
From reading the documentation it seems that Requires without After is
equivalent to PartOf and
thus is suspicious (if you want PartOf, you should use PartOf, if you
want Requires, the you should
also use After)
This means that there are cases to be checked for but I still globally
think that Requires without
After is suspicious, and that an implicit order would make sense... but
that's just my opinion and
I am still a bit confused about the fine-details of what Requires does.
my understanding is
Requires = Wants + Requisite + PartOf
is that correct ?
