And there are also some people like me who reboot atleast thrice a day. For them, the change is warranted.. Anyway, lets just wait and watch whether someone does come up with initng packages :)
Yow! Have you considered swsusp2 (software suspend http://www.suspend2.net/) if it's a laptop? I use this on my Sharp Actius MM10 notebook - which doesn't have usable suspend/hibernate under Linux. While it is a full power down/power up of the machine, it returns to functionality much faster than a normal reboot (and I keep my application state, to boot!) Even if you're rebooting that much because of dual (duel? ;-)) booting, it's still an effective way to speed boots as well as keeping your environment.
Then again, all of my other machines get rebooted a few times a year (if that) unless I get rambunctious with kernel tinkering. ;-)
