I thought your preceding description is how all init systems behave.

I know it's how runit behaves. In runit, stage 1 is what you call
"boot", stage 2 is what you call "services management", and stage 3 is
shutdown/reboot.

I'm pretty sure sysvinit works the same way. I know Epoch s6 works
the same way.
