Bad idea. This system has no SDD. I did exactly that, and bunches of startup
units failed

	# journalctl -b -1 | grep ailed | wc -l
	14

among which local-fs.target/start, leaving me in emergency mode.
I switched Start to 15 and it seems to have booted normally, even though

	# journalctl -b | grep ailed | wc -l

returned 12. I switched it to 75, and still got 12. So I switched it back
to its original 90, and it still got 12. So I switched back to 5. Next boot
produced 15, but all seemed totally normal.

Oh what fun is systemd. :-p

(but no reboot/shutdown delays since playing with system.conf either)
