The problem is that the network is never done initializing on a
modern operating system. It can and will change at runtime. If you
fix your daemon to deal with that, then the so-called "dependancy"
evaporates.
We have found this to be true of all dependencies. They're just
declarations of assumptions about how the world won't change on
them. Once you fix software to deal with reality, then the need for
"dependencies" goes away.
