     Rather the following: sysvinit spawns your gettys and your 
supervisor, and runs the rc files.

     Yes, or the following, where runit etc is respawned automatically 
by sysvinit.


.--------.
|sysvinit|
| PID1 | .----------------.

`--------'  |runit supvisr or|   |-httpd
   |---------|daemontools or  |---|-sshd
   |         |s6 supervisor   |   |-other supervised servers
   |         `----------------'
   |-getty1
   |-getty1
   |...
   |-getty6  .-------------------.
   |         | whatever          |
   |---------| launch-and-forget |---|-other services
             | rc                |
             `-------------------'


    But this makes sense only if the supervisor (runit, s6, etc) has a smarter way to keep track of its children than wait(). For example, it could keep some named pipe connection to each of them. I haven't explored the ways to do that, though.
