So according to:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/20SecondStartup

Upstart is or will hopefully be starting services in parallel.  If this
is the case, do the S and K numbers in the symlinks in /etc/rc5.d/*
really mean much anymore?  Would it be a useful smoke test to reverse
them all and make sure everything still works?

It would actually be interesting to know whether Fedora is trying the
"there are three critical paths" approach to fast booting, or "mostly
the same as always with a few tweaks" or "just start everything at once
and let the kernel sort it out", or something else?
