As of a few years ago, Google had something vaguely similar. The details escape me, but it was something like --
The main RPC service had a dependency on the lock service to start up and vice versa. If both services went globally offline at the same time, they wouldn't be able to turn either (thus most of Google) back on again.
Someone came up with a wonderful hack to solve this involving basically air-gaped laptops which when connected could help a datacenter bootstrap itself.
