Correct. You did identify the point of confusion for us though, I think.
I was only interested in the service's state. We don't have any services
that take any time to initialize like you spoke of later.

None of our services take longer than that to become operational.
Anything that would be so big typically gets broken down into smaller
services.

You were not wrong, actually. And I thank you and Gerrit both for your
assistance.
