I was going to go to that page and add something like the note I mentioned, and then suggest that you (Brian) and others check out that page and make additional modifications as appropriate. But, on going to that page, I see that Greg Wooledge actually modified that page yesterday at 17:32 (don't know if that is UTC or something else). Thank you, Greg. The entry in the "change log" for his changes says: "discuss the alternative init systems a bit, and at least attempt to describe the current state of affairs" It looks good to me (;-) but I really know nothing about what is being discussed. I'd suggest others take a look, and make modifications / additions as appropriate. Thanks again to Greg who took the bull by the horns (and, asfaict, did not get gored).
