I think my initial post was too vague.
This has nothing to do with the init.d and rc[0-6].d other than it would
be structured in a fashion similar to those pieces. No files would be
added to init.d.
What would happen is:
1) rc.sysinit.d would be created.
2) rc.sysinit script would be broken into many small scripts, each with
a definite purpose.
ie: the launching setting of networking options would end up being a
script named rc.sysinit.d/10network.
3) rc.sysinit would then simply source each of those scripts in
numerical order.
What this would allow is when a third party is building an rpm for
RedHat, they would not need to have a %pre and %post which patches
rc.sysinit.
