I think this is the key reason that the RHLP exists. We're opening the
playing field here. We want everyone to be involved. If you can code,
hack. If you can write, document. If you can't, bend, break, and file
bugs. You don't have to end in @redhat.com to play.

If your code is good, it will be considered. Thats not to say that we'll
be including everything, it has to be maintainable.

But if you can speed up rc.sysinit in a clean way by splitting it up, by
all means, do it.
