boot/init revisited

I'll bet by the time plumbers comes around, every distro will still not come anywhere near the famous 5 second boot-up. Though everyone will surely be doing better than they were a year ago.

What stumbling blocks will remain? how can we work better together to make these changes happen?

Last years event saw a lot of cross-distro collaboration during the mini-hackfest that followed the boot/init miniconf. I'm sure there are more wins to share here.
