I agree with you, the net/ folder perfectly fits into system/, as Unix boxes
are network boxes anyway. :-)
Once we've tied the system/ folder, we should change the names/pourposes of
the services in there as little as possible while only adjusting/tweaking the
contents of the files. I.e. people should trust that system/mountfs stays
there, is not renamed and it's pourpose stays the same, only the code gets
bugfixed and tuned.
So we get:
daemon/ only for daemons,
system/ services essential for system startup and scripts responsible
for establishing, maintaining and closing network connections
services/ place for services that aren't essential for system bootup,
i.e. "the rest",
runlevel/ runlevels,
config/ initng specific configuration files (for configuring
daemons/services, as /etc/sysconfig or /etc/conf.d do)
