Yes, yes.

It is true that **SOME** init scripts have become rather bloated. But most are 
quite simple - and I really don't see the problem with them. When a major 
complaint is seeing the "complexity" of a case statement to decide what to do 
for each possible operation (meaning you can have as many arbitrary ones, not 
just stop, start, status), you have to wonder at the skills of those doing the 
complaining !

I really can't see why code that's there to be seen (and edited if needed) is 
somehow inferior to hiding the same code (and more) in some binary blob 
controlled by a load of buttons and dials - and all to achieve something less 
capable.
