Reading http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/RC:

- any particular reason to not look at upstart/initng? Simply backwards
  compatibility?

- Having all the provides/requires kept outside the script when there are
  already parameters for having them in the script seems strange - why
  not just read the script?

- How does this handle the case where the package that *actually* provides
  something may be determined at runtime, instead of build time? (For example,
  $time, or $local_fs may occur at different points in the boot depending
  on they system's setup.)

- What benefits is there to doing a lot of flat files for storing system
  state?
