It's funny how the discussion gets lost in a focus on speed, and the other 
benefits that are more important to servers seem to get ignored (at least 
for discussion).

To me the big wins are explicit expression of dependencies instead of 
numbered start/stop order, and better integration with hot-plugging.

The speed is nice, but to me it's the ability of the system to describe the 
desired relationships clearly that makes the admin's life more bearable.
