no and this all sounds like seeking a solution for a non existing
problem! what in the world do you achieve whne your system hangs around
at boot and don't tell you any reason?

"TimeoutStartSec=" controls the limit so that it won't get killed
prematurely and having a system talking to you telling it's not dead is
a good thing, always
