Please don't start this holy war.  I *really* don't want to hear the
SysV and BSD folk bitching about init scripts. 

Gee.  So what if BSD init doesn't have runlevels?  It's clean and easy
to understand, just like everything else about BSD; there's an almost
minimalist elegance to it.

So what if SysV has runlevels?  Most people don't even understand the
point of them, and the configuration for them all is spread all over the
place.

So what if BSD hackers are liberal? ... So what if SysV hackers are
conservative? ... So what if my tongue is blue?

Take it somewhere else.
