Great to hear. :)

Nope.

Script B listed in required-start of script A means that script B
_must_ be started _before_ script A.  Script B listed in required-stop
of script A means that script B _must_ be stopped _after_ script A.

Script B listed in should-start of script A mean that scripp B _must,
if present_, be started _before_ script A.  The optional part is that
the system do not break down if it is missing.  If it is present,
system started by script A does break down if it do not start before
script B.  Similar for should-stop.

X-start-before and X-stop-after are the reverse of should-start and
should-stop.  Using x-start-before in script A listing script B is
like having should-start in script B listing script A.

Please update the text to make it clearer, if my explanation above
helped you get a better understanding.

The mysql bug is now reported as #458798.
