It should be. Yea it's wonderful that Open Source lets stuff get
re-invented, but RHL, Fedora, RHEL, etc. has been synonymous with
chkconfig for about a billion years now and you can't just throw that
away without bothering a few people. You can throw it away, but you
shouldn't do that in F-14, even if it means compatibility code, like the
kind Microsoft probably hated writing as they killed off AUTOEXEC.BAT :)
