I agree. Everyone here should know very well that gentoo is about
choices. We provide the user with choices every opportunity we have,
though some places it's difficult to do. When a choice presents itself
don't scrutinize it, we do not ever attempt to lock users into a single
solution, and we make every attempt to provide as many choices as possible.
On the subject of init scripts, I recall having a conversation with seemant
about this init system which used tree based dependancies and could start
init scripts simaltaeneously if their dependancy trees didn't collide (for faster
bootups), does this solution provide this? we'd really like to get something
that will take some of the overhead out of the init system...
