IMO, server bootup time is immaterial - servers are meant to run and run and
run, booting them is an exception. Even so, when I reboot a server maybe
once a year, I don't mind if bootup takes e.g. 5 minutes.  0.001% downtime
per year is about 5 minutes, but 0.01% is a more reasonable expectation for
a single server. 

Regardless, a change such as this is one of those that belong to a major
release, not a dot-release.  It would also seem to be somewhat dependent on
which strategy we decide to pursue.
