ack; they had bad code quality which was tried to be solved with stupid

But ideas like declarative init"scripts", the use/require concept are a

Yes; its like the basearchonly plugin of yum or the tab-mix-plus plugin
of firefox.  More or less trivial stuff and used by most people, but
author does not want it in code base.
