What you claim is not true. If the system is up that far as his boot definition would have implied, it would be easy for him to write a simple shell script to do the rest or to install file-rc. For the rest of us, it would be easier to work around upgrade problems like the ones udev's maintainer fixed for us for the last two releases. Looks like sending a thread's summary before the thread started does not end it ;) Unless someone plans to write yet another init replacement or to adapt an existent one, I think this discussion will not lead us to anything helpful.
