I can show you bugs where existing packages have invalid init scripts that 
just don't work with any baselayout version in portage. You could argue that 
they shouldn't be in the tree - if so then our imap server is foo-bared as it 
uses courier-imap. I suggest you check out bug #98745 for a clear definition 
of "support".

I can also show you Gentoo scripts used by ifplugd and netplug with init-ng 
support in the tree right now. I guess that means that init-ng has some level 
of support right?
