Why do you say so? Many things have been iteratively improved. The
booting speed is much better now. Try http://bootchart.sf.net or
http://people.redhat.com/berrange/systemtap/bootprobe/ to measure this.

Initng review has not been completed yet and doesnt work on many systems
with a number of issues been highlighted and worked upon during the
review process. If it ends up in Fedora Extras first, it would be easier
to check how well it works and later move into Fedora Core if suitable.
