Gentoo does have topology-sorted init. I like it. But this kinda shows what's wrong with "*BSD vs Linux" comparision. Once you are comparing "*BSD kernel" and "Linux kernel" - comparision is more-or-less fair. But when you are trying to compare "*BSD" and "GNU/Linux" (and use just "Linux" to confuse everyone) - it becomes complicated. For every obscure feature found in *BSD you can find equally obscure GNU/Linux distribution where feature was "implemented for ages"! Not exactly fair comparision...
