The source code needs some cleanup, that's right, and alot of comments, IMHO.
Replacing the .i files with another syntax wouldn't be a good idea in my eyes.
Many people have already customized their init files to match their needs,
and changing the syntax would put them through a lot of ugly work. The .i
syntax is nearly perfect IMHO, it needs only some minor cosmetic changes
(e.g., "script start = { };" is used for services, but "script daemon = { };"
for daemons).
Let the event-driven init systems develop for awhile, InitNG should first
finish it's own work so that the "old" system works well. I already made some
suggestions (e.g., tying service provides together via AND instead of OR, and
so on). That InitNG made it into Fedora Extras tells me that we're on the
right way. Sysadmins need a fast, intelligent, easy to manage init system,
not a new-and-hyped event driven thingy. IMHO.
Just my two cents. :-)
