The problem I see with alternatives is: what happens when I have init X set as the current alternative and I boot into init Y with a kernel command line or with a Grub-init-Y line? Will I end up with init Y but with all links pointing to init X commands?

In the middle there is the "more-then-one-check" solution, setting the alternatives at install, at boot and i don't know where else, but here complexity increase..
