initscripts changes for 2.6 kernel support?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  based on a couple different web sites, there are a number of changes
that seem to be appropriate in /etc/rc.sysinit (from the initscripts
package) for the 2.6 kernel, so i'm curious why they're not already
in the initscripts package at http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5.
i thought the whole point of those RPMs was to be compatible with
the 2.5/2.6 kernel (although i can certainly see how some of these
changes might break backward compatibility, so that might be a wee
bit of an issue. :-)

  the sites are

http://www.fearthecow.net/kernel.html
http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html

and the changes suggested are (and at least one of them makes
definite sense since it would get rid of a constant boot-time
error annoyance):

*** add support for sysfs mounting
*** change names of USB modules (which would get rid of the eternal
    error of not finding keybdev and mousedev)
*** change all occurrences of "/proc/ksyms" -> "/proc/kallsyms"

  comments?  as i mentioned, the renaming of the USB modules makes
*immediate* sense to me as i see its effect every time i boot.

  so, what's the status of initscripts and /etc/rc.sysinit regarding
these 2.6-related updates?  thanks.
