Moving forward we need much tighter integration with all NetworkManager and all network services on the machine. What I have done to reduce contention as well as boot time is to remove the following services from my init process
iscsi iscsid ntpd autofs sshd avahi-daemon avahi-dnsconfd yum-updatesd
They all now are started by custom scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d. Yes I know that theoretically autofs doesn't below there because it can mount non network drives, but I don't use that so it is there now.
I can pass some of my stuff along if you are interested.

This all comes down to a failure of the init system to be smart enough though, doesn't it?
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.
