It allows the various components to have specific dependencies so they
can start as soon as everything is in place. Older mechanisms such as
the traditional System V init scripts were much more limited and could
only do this with very ad hoc and buggy per-service tests, so they
mostly didn't.

+1. One of my pet gripes about systemd is that it introduces a lot of
new terminology without a clear explanation. I still don't understand
the difference between a target and a service.
