If you do want to create a wiki page, please note that a lot of the information here is not considered a stable/committed interface and it will be very important that whatever someone puts together accurately reflects that sentiment. That means that aspects of which services or what the file systems are may change from time to time and while Nahum is helpfully describing how things do currently work, it is not a promise that the boot-time processes won't change in the future. While we obviously try not to break folks, we do try to be much more explicit about what is and is not stable (aka something you can rely on). This doesn't mean that understanding the system isn't valued, just that we want to be careful with how folks use that knowledge such that it doesn't constrain us in the future.
