Right. We can't really do anything like this. It's a ghost from the past, where people worked with assumptions that never really existed, and just don't exist at all today. There is no state like "all devices are there", or "all services are started", at no point in time. Let's not get there, we really need to get rid of all this stuff. The question is, what happens when any of the services before $ALL is restarted? Then you run the thing plugging after $ALL again? In this case, it really sounds the way this firewall works needs to be changed, and hook into individual services to do some post-setup.
