Why bad news? SysV init's been dead through most of the rest of *nix-land (Even most certified Unixen don't use it anymore.). Why do we need to stick with it? And initscripts are a slow and overcomplicated way to start up a system (With more than its share of technical problems.). It's much better to boot up via configuration, not scripting: Easier to maintain, much faster, and much more flexible. Not to mention it's a modern feature Linux could make good use of. SysV's been a dead-end option for a long time now, it just took this long for viable alternatives to mature for Linux.
