Dear Katolaz,
I'm sory but you only think "server". I think this dpendency-base
startup and supervision is primarily dedicated to laptops, although
there must be other cases needing ultra-fast boots. Linux is not
dedicated only to big server farms.
I agree with Rainer that services should be able to handle failures
gently; I have defended this position on this list in another thread
already. However ultra-fast start-up is something I definitely want on
my laptop. It is usefull in everyday usage, and it is a must in cases
when software development needs frequent reboot.
I may not install s6-rc on servers, although I don't know why; but
I will certainly install it on laptops and desktops.
