i have seen often enough more than one user-manager instance and the 
total wait was way longer then the configured timeout - no matter why

and if it comes to dependencies the 3 minutes get multiplied easily when 
more than one service is running into the tmeout and waitung for each other

frankly, i had cases where i was tempted to plug the power becaus eof 
endless wait

however, it simply makes sense to have a different timeout at 
emegergency shutdown and if it only ensures that important services even 
get the change to shutdown cleanly in their dependency chain before 
power goes away
