I'm sure it's a fine piece of software, don't get me wrong - but if InitNG is going to be hammered into shape we'll need to get it into rawhide as soon as humanly possible - I personally don't mind a bit of babyeating this is a development platform afterall. > Unlike a hammer, Initng can potentially be modified to suit our > requirements if it doesnt fit our specifications if it is a good base to > start with and upstream is open to accepting changes if any is > required. Some hammers aren't suitable for retrofitting, and if we are going to replace the old initsystem, we should do so with the best technical solution (if initng is this solution then fine) - I would hate to replace one bad system with another because it was readily available. What is the longterm maintainablity for InitNG look like, how easily can we adapt it to our needs, how much work would retrofitting InitNG be compared to building a system completely to the specs we have. Also how likely are other distros to replace their init system with initng, larger vendor buy-in would be nice if we are going with an "off the shelf" solution. Here I'm thinking a freedesktop.org like concensus on a standard, be that based off initng or whatever would be absolutely brilliant. - David
