Those are easy. The tough part is process dependencies. Especially
since a lot of daemons aren't ready to do their job when they first get
run, and report their readiness only to the systemd communication
system.

I think the biggest hassle is writing tiny scripts that basically
answer the question: "Is daemon X now functional?"
