There are several reasons why desktop systems need rebooting, and
they're not specific to Ubuntu:
- running a laptop (and not being able to get software suspend to work)
- powering down the system over night (think ecology)
- sharing a room with the noisy machine
All tasks you perform 1-5 times a day at max. So cutting 10 seconds
boot time saves you a minute per day?
Unless you need instanton technology (think Fedora Media Center) there
is no urgent need to speed up boot process, or not?
I don't disagree with lowering boot time, but it isn't high priority.
