Well, I just sync'ed and `emerge -puD system` doesn't show up anything
todo, and I didn't mask out anything. So can I assume my init system
is up to date ?

Not at my site, just checked it.

Yes, of course. But that's not what I'm actually looking for.
Recently I had the problem that some service died, which was necessary
for another one. While trying to start the other one, I ran into
trouble since the init system didn't know about the died service.
If the lookup would go directly to checking things like pidfiles
(where applicable) instead of the flag files, such problems would
(IMHO) be entirely fixed.
