Because I don't feel like using technically inaccurate poetteringisms
when refering to something that's perfectly well-defined, namely, the
UNIX init program or the Linux equivalent of that. Or even more
generally, the program the kernel starts after it finished booting, ie,
without referring to any particular program.
