The plumbing layer as the new kernel

Surely any init systems that isn't a pile of shell scripts is an improvement.

Like a pile of crufty old, fork-happy shell scripts is what makes people, go "wow what a great, fast, efficient system startup scheme".

Luckily Apple saw Unix init for what it was and got rid of it for MacOSX.

And the cherished "UNIX Way". Have people never seen the unix haters handbook? Should we be limited to the Unix way for the rest of time.

Maybe we should start telling people that are in love with init and unix cruft to go install a BSD and be happy.
