That's exactly why I thing that's one of the aspects systemd moved
service startup design a step forward with its "notify" type of service
-- only the daemon author is fully capable/educated to narrow down
the exact point in the daemon's life cycle where it's supposed to
be "fully up, ready to service", marking that place with sd_notify(3)
call.  Everything else is just a heuristic, sometimes unreliable.
