* you don't know *when* that later is
* until that has happened all other services have to wait
* this won#t work in real life
* if it would work that way it would have been implemented

HONESTLY: i *hate* that predictable stuff too, i don't need it, i 
disable it and would prefer that the ones who *really* need it has to 
enable it instead you need to touch your config on the majority of 
machines which have only one NIC (since current mainboards don't have 
dualport NICs as some yaers ago)

BUT: i would be careful to pretend i have a doable solution which works 
for *all* usecases when people working for many years on the kernel did 
not found one
