Re: replacing init with something "sane"
"I would argue that it wasn't "init" that needed replacing, it was "rc"."
I was going to say, replacing the idea of fixed numeric runlevels with names (which can still be numeric) could at least be seen as a gradual progression (nothing too different from what's being used now, after all) and would allow the introduction of configurable flexibility (more than 5 runlevels if need be, or less if you want to KISS the system some).
