17:21 < Keybuk> right, we just replaced the stuff that was in inittab
directly
17:21 < Keybuk> it doesn't make sense to *not* be backwards compatible
with /etc/rc*.d
17:21 < Keybuk> we need to support that for most software to work
without modification
17:21 < Keybuk> otherwise on day #1, we need to write upstart jobs for
everything
17:22 < Keybuk> by supporting it, we can write upstart jobs one at a
time (until they are all done)

So uhh, InitNG is a fork of sysvinit? Minit is a fork of sysvinit? Runit
is a fork of sysvinit? <insert init system here> is a fork of sysvinit?
I don't think so...

There is nothing, I repeat, nothing that needs DBUS or Hal. The Upstart
devel dislikes dbus anyway

That's because they're using the sysvinit compat stuff and have lots of
uneeded stuff at boot

Meh. Anyway, what does everyone else think?
