+                                (the default), a few default
+                                dependencies will implicitly be
+                                created for the unit. The actual
+                                dependencies created depend on the
+                                unit type. For example, for service
+                                units, these dependencies ensure that
+                                the service is started only after
+                                basic system initialization is
+                                complete and is properly terminated on
+                                system shutdown. See the respective
+                                man pages for details. Generally, only
+                                services involved with early boot or
+                                late shutdown should set this option
+                                to <option>false</option>. It is
+                                highly recommended to leave this

+                                common units. If set to
+                                <option>false</option> this option
+                                does not disable all implicit
+                                dependencies, just non-essential
