I would think the ideal place we want to be in is.. <br>
<br>
If hw is present start service if not dont. <br>
<br>
Like for example there is no point in starting bluetooth, pcscd,
fcoe, <span class="moz-txt-citetags"></span>lldpad, iscsi, iscsid,
mdmonitor cups etc. if the relevant hw is not detected and present
on the installed or running system.<br>
<br>
ntp and ntpdate should just be enabled and started if the end user
has configured it to do so in Firstboot ( arguable this should be
removed from firstboot and be handled only in relevant application
in the DE ) or System settings --> Date and Time in Gnome or via
system-config-date. <br>
<br>
All the NFS related services along with avahi should default to off
as well and only be activated and enabled if the end user has
configured it to do so either manually or via cli or in some app. <br>
<br>
Fixing this along with defaulting to btrfs and or ext4 and turning
of related service surrounding lvm should reduce the boot time to ca
<10s range on a rotating media thus delivering better experience
to the novice end user. <br>
<br>
Anaconda or Firstboot should also turn off the live system related
services after being run. <br>
