to me this looks a very honest approach to the community at large. a
lesson to learn for the.... "young innovators", it deserves a plause
at least for its methodology, the frank tones in admitting
shortcomings of his own implementation and reaching out for
suggestions.

however I'd really recommend to sit down a bit and watch OpenRC as it
seems to me the best candidate to follow up sysvinit. One thing I
cannot find mentioned in the soy thread is that the init system should
be 100% compatible with existing sysvinit scripts and OpenRC seems to
achieve that with well written and well documented code, but I'm still
not done reading it all.
