Always leave the old version of init available as /sbin/init.old. That
way you can get a working system by booting with "init=/sbin/init.old"
if something goes wrong.
PostgreSQL did a similar trick because upgrading to a new major version
needs the binaries of the _previously_ installed version to be able to
upgrade the database.
