At the very least leave an inittab file that contains a note that it
is not used anymore. Much better than having to find out the new
structure on your own.
Dear god yes.. and we will probably still have every sysadmin, book,
and out-of-fedora package that places stuff in /etc/inittab for serial
ports, etc yell every 2 seconds on fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx, etc that
Fedora-9 borked their setup.
+1, it is an issue... Most often people switch to another distro in such
cases :(
Whether it is possible to save /etc/inittab, as an additional "legacy"
config file? Perhaps it could be fine to have some special "service"
under upstart, which read the /etc/inittab (if present) and perform all
the tasks which are still defined in the old sysv way...
