Fair point, but in the plymouth case specifically, don't you want to
enable plymouth as soon as X quits and then keep it running hiding away
all that geeky text with a shiney icon/gradient right up until the last
possible moment?

Does systemd *really* want to kill plymouth on shutdown before it hands
control back to initrd? I'd have thought that we would actually want to
keep it active - initrd starts it, initrd stops it.

I'm sure there are non-plymouth examples too, so I'm sure your point is
still valid, but figured I'd ask anyway :)
