No real drawbacks and should be possible to add due to our dep-based 
initscripts.  Right now, we are focusing on more fundamental areas, though.
In the future, we'll add support for this.  The disadvantage would be
that without a higher-level script output mechanism, the output from
the scripts would get interleaved line by line.  Also, let's take a step
back and think about a system that boots 1 second faster.  Big whoop.
Is this where we want to be focusing our precious development time?

Best Regards,
