NOTE!! - This information has not yet been transferred from the internal wiki yet.
The goal of the taxonomy is to organize the different delays into categories based on (at least) 3 different attributes:
- boot phase
- where boot phase is one of: firmware, kernel, user space
- magnitude
- type of delay
- where type is one of: systemic, hardware, busy-wait
(delay type is weird. I need to think about this more - TimBird)
