it's a somehow strange situation... there were mass bug reports requiring
LSB headers in initscripts, Fedora uses its proprietary, non LSB compliant
initsystem for most of its services and provides upstart.
I do not see any reason not to provide -upstart initscripts alternatively;
beside their simplicity, the parallel startup and the removal of the racy
pidfile mechanism, they allow to respawn services.
What's wrong with giving users the choice to do a simple 'yum install
tor' + all the graphical management stuff, or 'yum install tor-core
tor-upstart'[1] + other configuration management methods (e.g. cfengine)?
