Reciting prayers backwards is for if you take daemons in the sense
of Devil, which is not the usual understanding. But you are free to do
so: just make it a dependency. Not sure you'll find a ready-made package
though; but we know you're able to do it yourself :-)
Jokes apart, starting daemons in parallel is simply faster when you
have several cores. I do care booting fast.
