The problem is that most of those service dependency stuff ignores the fact that daemons may need some time to really become available for service. They just start a service and don't have a way to check if the service is really available. Combined with missing failure handling (like starting a service, noticing that the service terminated because another required service was not yet available, wait a few seconds, and try again automatically), such service dependencies are pretty useless if reliability is a requirement.
