While I would love to see the current Init system replaced for various
reasons, I'm concerned if InitNG is the correct technical solution.

Do we even have a clear spec for what we require from a replacement, so
far the document with the most effort going into this seems to be Seth
Nickell' SystemServices document.

Just saying we should use initng reminds me of that old saying - when
all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail.
