I have been in touch with Scott Remnant, and this is fortunately not true.InitKit is a project to create a standard for event-based activation. The idea is that even if a bunch of distros NIH and implement themselves, upstream can count on certain behaviors. No actual software is planned to emerge from the project.
So, one less concern. --CJD
