I tried initng 0.5.2 on FC4. On the whole it was a *very* positive experience.
Adding it to the Extras would be nice.

Minor issues I noticed. 

- english mistakes in messages;
- lack of documentation (I had too google to find the --interactive argument
to initng);
- some debatable coding (all state information is in a global called 'g'
(ungreppable));
- some bugs (e.g. sometimes stopping a daemon does not seem to work if it
dependent on a service in the same file); 
- booting hung while starting the daemon udev/udevd hung because udevd does not
recognize the --daemon argument (easily fixable);
- sometimes sound devices are not created, this is clearly a udevd issue;
- often console switches to cyrillic for a while (ugly);
- console flashes (ugly);
- kernel messages on consose (ugly but easily fixed by adding -c 1 to klogd);
- no integration yet with rhgb (easily fixable I presume).
