The word *hang* implies that it's not doing anything. So if e.g. libvirt-guests.service takes 45 seconds to save the state of all your VMs, that's not hanging (and it will not occur when you have no VMs running, so this is easy to distinguish). If the filesystem needs to be synced, that's not hanging (and if you sync before reboot, it will not happen, easy to distinguish). The word *consistently* is also important, it will not apply to e.g. cups.service or packagekit.service acting up once per 30 reboots. But if cups.service hangs each time you print a document, that's consistent, and now we need to determine whether it's serious enough to block the release. This was the reason why I also included *frequently* in the original proposal - I think there should be a judgement call when it doesn't occur every single time. If it is consistent but infrequent (e.g. each time you print), it might not be a good idea to block on it. Although, I guess I should've used *and* instead of *or*, i.e. "frequently and consistently".
