You still need to upper bound it. Consider service that is run on
shutdown. You cannot indefinitely wait for service that is stuck in
STARTING state.

So STARTING state is marginally useful to catch hung service, but at
some point service manager still needs to decide how long it wants to
wait. We are back at square one.
