Making services or mounts or timers depend upon the appearance or
disappearance of devices. I use that often to improve boot parallelism.
Now instead in most systems not fully integrated with systemd you have a
loop with udev settle waiting for a device to appear in a script. I saw
that especially in initrd (see nixos stage-1 or dracut without systemd).
