Not at all. Any scripts can be utilized by the user (or by the third
party) in his own scripts. You'll end up with bug reports like 'My
desktop won't start'. That is the least part of the problem. The worse
part is that you put user into uncertain state when his environment is
not starting and he must debug it for himself. Seems 'a bit'
unfriendly.

About that bug what exactly is incomprehensible? I will compose regex
later if I'll want to (if you'll not want to fix it) or at least
submit bug report.
