Recently while going through [GNU Shepherd](https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/) , I noticed the following sentence.
>It provides a replacement for the service-managing capabilities of SysV-init (or any other init) with a both powerful and beautiful **dependency-based system** with a convenient interface.
So, I want to know what is meant by dependency-based system here? Is it the feature that distinguish it with popular SysV or Sysmted init systems?
