You'll have to explain to me your plan for preserving current
/etc/rc semantics and also incorporating SysV-style startup stuff.
I can't say I understand how you feel they'd be the same. Please
also make sure you explain how the package system works with all
of this.

(Note that I'm never in favour of making something new where
something existing works well, or even mostly well. And I've been
bricked for this, too. :-))
