The preceding looks like an extremely capable init system that will
handle almost any situation, assuming the admin has the skill to make
it so. It seems to enable one to do tons of things that runit doesn't
facilitate.

On the other hand, GNU Shepherd makes me realize how easy runit is to
administer. I can do it in my sleep.

If anyone does a Jitsi presentation on GNU Shepherd, I'd *really* like
to be in the audience. This looks potentially like a very high quality
init, probably for the kind of person with lots of tricky daemons to
administer.

Thanks for pointing out Shepherd.
