Well, no, that's the point of the 10 second boot proposal.  Scott's 
categorizing priorities - and for a desktop system, the first priority is X, 
and those things X depends on (primarily, aiui, udev).  So you will be able 
to start all the services you want, and some of them may not be active by 
the time you get to your desktop, but booting, starting X, starting [gkx]dm, 
logging in, and getting your desktop to display is supposed to happen within 
10 seconds on their reference system.  Probably slower on everybody else's 
:-)

Naturally, but as of next year, those consequences shouldn't include slow 
boot times.
