Vim or Emacs. You can only have one.

Perl, Python, Ruby or Lua. You can only have one.

Mutt or Thunderbird. You can only have one.

Sysvinit, runit, s6, perp or Epoch. You can only have one.

I showed in my Manjaro Experiments document
(http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/init/manjaro_experiments.htm)
that the existence of multiple inits or supervisors is a good thing. If
one breaks, you can use the other as a diagnostic known good
replacement. If you're an init system documenter, all can coexist, with
the chosen one determined by a kernel line. Or even a config file. For
the tire kicker wanting to compare inits and/or supervisors, having
multiple coexisting inits/supervisors is a must.

I think it's poetteristic for one init to sabotage another by removing
its package.
