     Steve,


     I like more and more this idea of separating the tasks:
      - pid1 (sysvinit or whatever) performs one-shot startups and basic 
supervision (like for getty),
      - services needing a sophisticated supervisor use a supervisor 
which is only a supervisor, not pid1,
      - services which depend on conditions use specialized tools to 
wait for these conditions.
