I had a couple of free minutes last night and could not resist so I build and
installed initng...

Looks pretty nice to be ready to go in about 8 seconds compared to estimated
30-35 normally.

Here are some toughts so:
 - I do not like rhgb (hence I don't use it ^^) but having something other then
(for the normal desktop user) boring init msg is sure something fedora needs to
have. So I tought maybe adding splashy even for normal boot would be great (and
even better for initng because the initng layout seems to me more confusing for
desktop users then the old init one...) I will see if I can wrap something up on
that matter

- on my first boot initng nfs,xfs,gdm and of course nvidia-glx where missing and
I tought of how switching from old init to initng would impact end users. In my
opinion we should think of a way to make switching smoother ;) So two things
come to mind: Either ship scripts which will be run e.g. as init scripts which
will compare runlevels and add/delete services (being the easier idea) or making
wrappers for service/chkconfig and friends so that changes will be done for
both(all) installed inits...

Other then that everything worked pretty great (except maybe for the shutdown...
but that could be some issue with my nfs as well ^^)
