Not necessarily.

The rule of thumb is that the S and K number should add up to 100, but you 
don't absolutely *have* to do that.  If NetworkManager really does need to 
start up so late, we should still have it stopped as late as possible in the 
shutdown process.  If the S and K don't add up to 100 because of t hat, oh 
well.

However, I'm not sure that would entirely solve all the issues that are being 
discussed in this thread.
